One Iraqi killed, 22 wounded in a raid against southern Iraq

The American and British planes on Tuesday and for the second time within one week bombarded Iraqi civilian areas. The bombardment resulted in killing one Iraqi citizen and wounding 22, according to an Iraqi military spokesman.

In Florida, the US forces leadership center said that the allied planes bombarded an Iraqi radar position near al-Dewaneyah, 130 Km southern east of Baghdad.

Baghdad said that one Iraqi was killed and 22 wounded in the raid launched by American and British planes against "civilian and service firms to the south of Iraq." An Iraqi military spokesman said that the planes came from the Kuwaiti airspace supported by an AWACS plane from the Saudi airspace.

Worthy mentioning that just three days ago five Iraqis were killed and other 17 strongly wounded in raids carried out by American and British planes at one of the residential areas, also located in al-Dewaneyah city.
