Military puzzled and worried about Saddam's invisible air force


THE precise location of Saddam Hussein’s air force remains a key issue for coalition forces as military commanders yesterday expressed concerns that the Iraqis may be holding back their planes for a defiant attack involving chemical weapons.

The theory appeared to be confirmed last night by the UK commander of the British Harrier force in the Gulf, who warned that the Baghdad military regime may use their air force to launch a surprise chemical attack on coalition forces.
