US Denies Plane Hit by Iraq

The United States Saturday denied claims by Iraq that its air defense forces had hit a Western plane which invaded the southern part of the country.

"The Iraqi claim is not true," U.S. National Security Council spokesman P.J. Crowley said.

He made the comments after Iraq announced Saturday that its forces hit a Western plane patrolling the so called no-fly zone in the south of the country.

"Our brave air defenses have hit one of the aggressors' planes," an Iraqi military spokesman was quoted as saying.

He said a total of 62 sorties of U.S. and British planes invaded southern Iraq Friday and Saturday.

The plane was hit Saturday, the Iraqi military spokesman said.
