Baghdad Says Attack Killed 4 Civilians

Allied warplanes killed four civilians in northern Iraq, the official Iraqi News Agency reported. The planes struck public utilities and weapons sites in the Mosul region, leading “to the martyrdom of four citizens and the wounding of others,” the agency said, quoting the Iraqi armed forces. An American military official in Germany said U.S. warplanes attacked antiaircraft and radar sites after being fired on while patrolling the Western-imposed “no-fly” zone over northern Iraq. “Operation Northern Watch planes detected Iraqi radar and observed Iraqi antiaircraft fire posing a threat to coalition aircraft,” a spokeswoman for the U.S. European Command said.
