US Planes Strike Iraqi Air-Defense Facility

STAFF | Reuters | July 13, 2002

"U.S. warplanes bombed Iraqi air-defense facilities on Saturday after coalition aircraft patrolling a 'no-fly' zone in the south of the country came under fire, the U.S. military said. In Baghdad, an Iraqi military spokesman said seven people were wounded when U.S. and British warplanes struck civilian targets in the south of the country. The spokesman also said anti-aircraft missile defenses might have hit one of the attacking Western warplanes."

This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
