Summary edit

Description
English: Iraqi forces continue to fire anti-aircraft artillery at coalition airplanes enforcing No-fly zones over Iraq. Coalition aircraft have subsequently been dropping leaflets urging Iraqi military forces not to engage coalition aircrews. Leaflets also lay out the consequences of such actions in an effort to ensure local civilian populations are properly informed. Each leaflet is typically 3-by-6 inches in size, written in Arabic, and are dropped in fiberglass containers that explode over designated areas to increase scatter and drift to the ground. Example shown is the Arabic version of recent drops, with the English translation provided for information purposes. DOD Graphic Illustration.
