Pentagon: Iraq Threatens U.S. Pilots
American and British pilots flying patrols over Iraq face new risks from strengthened air defenses, the Pentagon says. Gen.

Saddam Hussein has offered financial rewards to any defender who downs an American pilot. :: This AP report submitted for your rumor of war (Matthew 24:6) and Iraq (Jeremiah 51:29&37) files.
