Patriot Missile May Have Hit a RAF Jet CAMP AS SAYLIYAH (March 23) - A Royal Air Force aircraft was reported missing Sunday and British officials said it may have been shot down by a U.S. Patriot missile. ``We have evidence to suspect that an RAF aircraft which was recovering from an operational mission may have been engaged by a U.S.-operated Patriot missile battery near the Kuwaiti border,'' a British military statement said. The crew of the aircraft is missing. Group Capt. Al Lockwood, a spokesman for British forces in the Gulf, said the aircraft may have been shot down over Kuwait. ``One of our aircraft recovering from operations over Kuwait, evidence is beginning to come to light that suggests it was engaged by a U.S. Patriot missile,'' Lockwood told the British Broadcasting Corp. Asked whether ``engaged'' meant ``shot down,'' Lockwood said: ``Evidence is pointing in that direction.'' A U.S. official confirmed that a Patriot missile battery ``may have engaged'' the aircraft near the Kuwaiti border. The official said that was all the information available at this point. 03/23/03 03:03 EST Copyright 2003 The Associated Press
