Just about 9:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time last night, the U.S. military began an unprovoked attack on Iraq. Air raid sirens sounded throughout Baghdad just before the sun rose. Anti-aircraft fire filled the sky, and explosions shook the city. Pentagon officials said over 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from warships. Two stealth bombers each dropped two one-ton bombs. It’s not clear what’s been hit or the extent of the casualties. The Iraqi News Agency has just reported there are 14 injured and one Jordanian man dead. Iraq responded by firing three missiles into northern Kuwait.
