BAGHDAD, March 3: Iraq said on Monday that US and British warplanes killed six civilians and wounded another 15 in raids on Basra, but Washington said the jets struck military targets after coming under anti-aircraft fire.
An Iraqi military spokesman said the planes patrolling a “no-fly” zone in the south of the country entered Iraqi airspace at 9:45pm (1845 GMT) on Sunday and later targeted civilian sites in the province of Basra.—Reuters
