(AP) American teams hunting for Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass
destruction found dozens of fighter jets from Iraq’s air force buried
beneath the sands, U.S. officials say.
At least one Cold War-era MiG-25 interceptor was found when searchers saw
the tops of its twin tail fins poking up from the sands, said one Pentagon
official familiar with the hunt. He said search teams have found several
MiG-25s and Su-25 ground attack jets buried at al-Taqqadum air field west of
Baghdad.
