U.S. and British warplanes on patrol in the southern no-fly zone in Iraq attacked civilian targets in southern Iraq Thursday, killing four civilians and wounding 10 others, this according to the official Iraqi News Agency. The agency said the allied warplanes attacked “civilian public service installations” about 370 kilometers south of Baghdad. The warplanes took off from Kuwait and flew a total of 44 sorties, and the Iraq military fired surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft guns in response, the agency said.
