STRIKE ON IRAQ



-Day One.
September the 3rd. 1996.

The United States of America fires 27 cruise missiles against military positions in southen Iraq on Tuesday morning September the 3rd, local time, in response to military action by Iraqi forces in the Kurdish controled Northen part of the country.

U.S. officials did not rule out further actions unless Iraqi troops withdraw from Irbil, a Kurdish city in Northen Iraq.

The U.S. punitive action came after the Iraqi regime gave military support to the K.D.P. (Kurdish Democratic Party) leader Mosaud Barzani in his struggle against the Iranian backed P.U.K. (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan) in Northen Irak.
