WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States is said to have destroyed a major Iraqi air defense facility.
Iraqi opposition sources said U.S. and British fighter-jets destroyed Iraqi army intelligence headquarters in the southern region. The facility struck on Sunday was located in Ashar south of Basra and contained advanced radar and surveillance equipment that monitored air and ground traffic in neighboring Iraq.
The sources said the Iraqi facility was struck by four air-to-ground missiles.
The allied attack was said to have been the most significant since February, when U.S. and British warplanes attacked Iraqi air defense network near Baghdad. Sunday's attack was followed by another U.S. attack on Tuesday that targeted an Iraqi radar site in the north. In all, the allies conducted seven raids over the last three days.
