Iraq fires at U.S. warplanes
Advancing ground troops force
fleeing refugees into Iran, Turkey
Iraq update
opt;
SULAYMANIYAH, Iraq (AP) —
Emboldened by triumphs on the
ground, Saddam Hussein acted
on his threat to shoot at American
warplanes Wednesday, firing a
missile at U.S. jets patrolling the
“no-fly” zone over northern Iraq.
There were no hits, but the
Americans promptly announced
they were sending long-range
strategic bombers into the volatile
region for another potential
showdown with the Iraqi leader.
Saddam vowed he would no
longer honor the “damned imagi
nary” no-fly zones last week after
U.S. forces blasted air defense
sites in southern Iraq.
Iraqi forces fired one missile at
two F-16s over northern Iraq, the
Pentagon said. The Iraqi radars
tracking the F-16s were not kept
on long enough for the jets to fire
retaliatory radar-seeking missiles.
“Our air defenses intercepted
the enemy targets with anti-air
craft guns and rockets and forced
them to flee,” the official Iraqi
News Agency said Wednesday.
Iraq has reported similar
actions for several days, but
Wednesday was the first time the
Americans confirmed coming
under fire. Initial reports said two
Iraqi missiles were fired. A
Pentagon official, speaking on
condition of anonymity, later said
only one missile was shot.
Pentagon officials said two B-
52 bombers based in Guam would
be relocated to the island of Diego
Garcia in the Indian Ocean. B-52s
fired some of the cruise missiles
that struck Iraq last week.
“We reserve the right to take
action to protect our pilots who
are enforcing the no-fly zones
both over northern Iraq and
southern Iraq,” White House
spokesman Mike McCurry said.
“It doesn’t matter whether he
(Saddam) observes them or not.
We enforce them.”
In the past two weeks, Saddam
has undertaken his biggest mili
tary venture since the end of the
1991 Persian GulfWar.
A U.S.-led allied air force, based
in southern Turkey, has been pro
tecting Iraqi Kurds since they
rebelled against Saddam in 1991.
Fifty fighter jets and bombers from
Britain, France and the United
States patrol the no-fly zone above
the 36th parallel in northern Iraq.
On Aug. 31, Saddam sent troops
into the “safe haven” to help
Kurdish allies oust a rival Iranian-
backed Kurdish group. He has
defied limited U.S. attempts to stop
him and now appears willing to
provoke a new confrontation.
The Iraqi offensive has sent
thousands of refugees fleeing
toward Turkey and Iran. Seeking
to prevent an exodus, Saddam has
declared a general amnesty for all
Kurds and lifted travel and trade
barriers between Iraq and the
Kurdish area.
The U.N. refugee agency said in
Sulaymaniyah that 50,000 people
had fled the town, drastically low
ering Tuesday’s estimates of
300,000. About half of them have
returned home, said an official who
spoke on condition of anonymity.
Border guards and some
refugees at Bashmaq said
Wednesday that dozens of com
manders of the vanquished
Kurdish group, including Patriotic
Union of Kurdistan leader Jalal
Talabani, were among those who
crossed into Iran.
About 5,000 Iraqis have

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane
Hortense strengthened today over open
waters as it moved away from Puerto Rico
and the Dominican Republic, where it
dumped up to 20 inches of rain and left at
least 12 people dead.
The lightly populated Turks and Caicos
Islands were struck today by Hortense, which
is heading northwest at 11 mph packing 105
mph winds and heavy rains. Power poles
were reported down and roofs damaged. The
central Bahamas were expected to be hit by
up to 10 inches of rain later today.

Those rains pounded Puerto Rico with
near-record amounts on Tuesday, flooding
streets and highways and sending rivers
surging over their banks. A flood warning
remained in effect today as squalls left over
from the hurricane lashed the western half of
the island.
Hortense cut water and electricity to most
of Puerto Rico’s 3.6 million people, destroyed
more than 650 homes and stranded hun
dreds of cars with chest-high water in San
Juan, the capital. Two-thirds of the island
remained without water and power today.
Two people were killed by the hurricane in
the Dominican Republic: a woman electro
cuted when she touched a fallen electrical
wire and a 61-year-old man who fell from a
tree while cutting branches just south of
Santo Domingo.
In Puerto Rico, police today recovered the
bodies of two people who drowned when
their house in a ravine was swamped by a
raging torrent.
Over half the dead in Puerto Rico were
children, including an 8-year-old girl swept
from her father’s arms as her 13-year-old sis
ter drowned.
Residents watched the girls’ father trying
to save the younger child, only to have the
surging water drag her from his hands. The
sisters’ bodies were found under a bridge.
Four other family members were missing, as
well as two fishermen off northeast
Dominican Republic.
Two boys, aged 2 and 3, were killed in
mudslides as the hurricane brought torren
tial daylong rains to Puerto Rico. Three
adults drowned, and a woman was found
dead — presumably of a heart attack — in
her car.
Conferem
Power remained off across mucholPuert
Rico today, and the Turks and Caicos ufjj
without electricity as well. Hortenseswi!

Northeast and New England by Sunday.
