Hussein Vows Battle Over ‘No-Fly’ Zones
- Share via
President Saddam Hussein said the “no-fly” zones imposed on his nation are illegal and vowed that Iraq will fight violations of its airspace. Hussein’s remarks to his Cabinet were his first on the no-fly zones since top officials said last month that Iraq would fire on Western warplanes patrolling the areas. The no-fly zones were set up after the 1991 Persian Gulf War to stop Iraq from using its air force against ethnic minorities.
