8 Tuesday, July 16, 2002 NEi THE BATTAL] General says Iraq increasing attacks on coalition aircraft over ‘no-fly zones’ WASHINGTON (AP) — A top U.S. general said Monday that Iraq has increased attacks on coalition aircraft over “no-fly zones” and is now challeng ing them at the same rate it did before Sept. 11. The U.S-British coalition patrolling the zones bombed Iraqi sites twice over the weekend in response to two such Iraqi attacks, said Air Force Brig. Gen. John W. Rosa Jr., deputy director for operation at the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The bombing followed a coalition strike Saturday on another Iraqi air defense facility in the south. Both strikes were launched after Iraqi air defense units fired on coalition aircraft. They follow a number of such incidents in recent weeks. Pentagon officials said. At the State Department, spokesman Richard Boucher endorsed a weekend call by exiled Iraqi military officers for a revolt against Saddam Hussein. “It sounds like a good idea ” he said. Boucher said the London meeting of the exiled officers was a useful tool in helping the Iraqi community to move closer to the goal of a better future for the Iraqi people after Saddam Hussein. “We’re seeking an Iraqi government that’s broad-based, representative and respects the principles of justice, the rule of law and the rights of the Iraqi people — a regime that can live at peace with its neighbors, complies with Security Council resolutions and maintains Iraq’s territorial integrity,” he said. Discussing the Iraqi attacks on coali tion aircraft, Rosa said, “It appears that there’s been a spike, but as we measure them over the last 18 months, they’re not unusually high.” He said that after Sept. 11, attacks in the no-fly zones subsided slightly, but now “they’re back up to the normal levels.” An Iraqi military spokesman had reported that seven Iraqi civilians were injured in air raids Saturday. The claim could not be independently verified. The incidents come as the United States weighs options to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Iraqi opposi tion leaders also met over the weekend in London to discuss their role in any bid to oust Saddam. A regime change in Iraq is a stated pol icy of the Bush administration. U.S. and British warplanes have been monitoring the zones over southern and northern Iraq since shortly after the 1991 Gulf War to protect Kurdish and Shiite Muslim groups from Baghdad. Iraq considers the zones violations of Iraqi sovereignty and frequently tries to shoot the planes down. Hang time ^olum< JOSH HOBSON .
