LONDON, Jan 12: The United States Air Force is investigating how one of its fighter jets dropped an unarmed bomb onto the countryside in northern England last week, a spokesman said on Monday.

There were no injuries and only "limited property damage" in the incident, which happened near the town of Market Weighton in Yorkshire on Thursday, the air force spokesman said. The 11-kg practice bomb was dropped by a F-15E Strike Eagle on a routine training run from a base in eastern England.-Reuters
