BBC: US warplanes launch Najaf attack

2004-08-20

Friday, 20 August, 2004, 03:12 GMT 04:12 UK
US warplanes and tanks have been bombarding areas around the Imam Ali shrine in the Iraqi city of Najaf.

Radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr has continued to defy calls to end his insurgency, despite a "final call" from Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. Orange flashes lit up the night sky as US warplanes flew overhead and thick black smoke rose from the old city. A BBC correspondent says there is no word on casualties, but the mortars of Mr Sadr's men have fallen silent. The BBC's Kylie Morris in Najaf said the bombardment by US planes had been intense, leaving a smoky haze that stretched across the night horizon. The bombing went on for more than 30 minutes, and the explosions could be heard several kilometres away.

The BBC's version of events. Let's hope that actions against ALL Tater Tots - country-wide - continue until they are no more. Period.
