Something on the other front:http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Articles.asp?Article=23590&Sn=WORL US jets attack Iraqi air base BAGHDAD: Iraq said four people were wounded when US warplanes attacked civilian targets yesterday, while Washington said it had launched a raid after Western jets policing a southern "no-fly" zone were threatened. Marine Corps Lt Gen Gregory Newbold said, at the Pentagon in Washington, that the US warplanes had used precision-guided weapons to attack an aircraft-directional finding site at As-Salman, 273km south of Baghdad. An Iraqi military spokesman said the jets carried out 44 sorties, flying over Nissirya, Samawah and As-Salman in Muthanna province and areas in Basra province in the south. The attack came before US National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice called on Berlin to give stronger backing to Washington's campaign against Iraq, ahead of President George W Bush's visit to Germany. Iraq and the UN, meanwhile, are set to resume talks in July on whether weapons inspectors would be allowed into the country after being barred from returning for more than three years. Vice-President Taha Yassin Ramadan announced the date for the third round of talks between UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Iraq's Foreign Minister Naji Sabri.
