WARPLANES ATTACK


British and American warplanes are attacking artillery units in southern Iraq, the Pentagon has said.

Officials told Sky News that ten artillery pieces have been destroyed.

They said the artillery units may have chemical or biological weapons which could be used on US and UK troops on the border with Kuwait, said Sky News correspondent Keith Graves in Washington.

He said: "The Pentagon said warplanes have been and are now in action over southern Iraq."
