US, British Jets Attack Southern Iraq

US and British warplanes attacked three surface-to-air missile sites in Iraq's southern "no- fly" zone on Sunday as part of a campaign to disable Baghdad's air defenses, reports here said.

A Pentagon official was quoted as saying that there were three separate strikes that occurred between 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) and 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT). All US aircraft returned safely to their bases, the Pentagon said.
