Western forces strike Iraq Anti-aircraft fire explodes over Baghdad December 16, 1998 Web posted at: 5:30 p.m. EST (2230 GMT) BAGHDAD (CNN) -- Western forces in the Persian Gulf region launched "substantial" military strikes against Iraq early Thursday -- almost two days after the United Nations' chief weapons inspector issued a report saying that Baghdad continued to refuse to cooperate with the inspectors. Iraqi anti-aircraft guns blasted into the night sky above Baghdad early Thursday, as explosions thundered in the distance. CNN nightscope video showed specks of white light flashing across the sky. The attack began at 12:49 a.m. local time (0949 GMT). "At the direction of the president, United States military forces have launched a substantial military strike against Iraq," White House spokesman Joe Lockhart told reporters. He said U.S. President Bill Clinton would address the nation within the hour.
