Action by USS Kitty Hawk pilots and others was mentioned in an new AP dispatch from Iraq.
Air attacks focused on the Republican Guard's Medina division. F/A-18s from the USS Kitty Hawk in the Persian Gulf attacked a fuel depot and another site with missile canisters belonging to the Medina division, said Capt. Dick Corpus, chief of staff of the Kitty Hawk battle group.
Royal Air Force pilots also hit Republican Guard positions 60 miles southeast of Baghdad. "There was fantastic visibility and I could even see the camels on the ground as well as a number of bomb craters around the encampment," Flight Lt. Scott Morley, a Harrier pilot, told a reporter for Britain's Sunday Express. "I got two good hits on Medina division artillery pieces."
