BAGHDAD (AFP) Apr 03, 2003
US-British bombing of Baghdad Thursday killed 27 civilians and wounded 193, Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf said.

Sahhaf was addressing a daily press conference as AFP reporters said US-led bombing raids around the outskirts of Baghdad appeared to be intensifying as US troops said they were just 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the city centre.
