strike Iraqi air defenses in the south.

BAGHDAD -- An Iraqi military spokesman, quoted by the official Iraqi
News Agency (INA), said U.S. and British planes bombed "civilian
installations" in the provinces of Wassit and Dhi qar. Kut is in Wassit
province.

The Iraqi spokesman said Iraqi forces opened fire at the planes, forcing
them to return to their bases in Kuwait.

The number of incidents involving U.S. and British air patrols over
no-fly zones in northern and southern Iraq has risen sharply in recent
months as speculation has grown that the United States could launch an
attack to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein [and steal all of Iraq's
oil].

Iraq accuses Western patrols of attacking civilian targets and killing
innocent people.

The warplanes have attacked Iraqi air defences in the zones 54 times
this year.
