U.S. warplanes bombed Iraqi air defense sites in response to Iraqi fire in the northern and southern “no-fly” zones, U.S. military officials said. F-16s and F-15s dropped bombs on a command-and-control site north of Mosul, about 250 miles north of Baghdad, the U.S. European Command said in a statement released on the Internet. An F-16 also attacked a radar site east of Mosul, the statement said. In southern Iraq, F-18s dropped bombs on two Iraqi surface-to-air missile sites near As Samawah, about 150 miles south of Baghdad, the military officials said.
