US jets hit Iraqi communications site

US aircraft flying as part of Operation Northern Watch over the northern Iraqi no-fly zone attacked targets east of Mosul. A statement from Incirlik air base in Turkey said US jets were targeted by Iraqi radar and fired on by Iraqi anti-aircraft artillery. In response, the jets attacked communications facilities that "were used to pass location information on ONW aircraft to Iraqi AAA units," the statement said. It added that the jets left the area safely.
