INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey (CNN) -- U.S. warplanes dropped laser-
guided bombs on anti-aircraft and surface-to-air missile sites west of Mosul in
the northern no-fly zone of Iraq on Wednesday, Operation Northern Watch
officials said.
There was no immediate response from Iraq.
Allied military officials said U.S. Air Force F-16Cs dropped GBU-12 laser-
guided bombs after aircraft in the northern no-fly zone detected Iraqi radar
"posing a threat to coalition aircraft."
