Iraq shoots down US spy plane
Iraq claims it has shot down an unmanned US spy plane over its southern no-fly zone.
No footage of any plane wreckage was broadcast.
The location of the reported downing or how it was shot were not specified.
The state-run Iraqi News Agency quotes an official saying the plane was shot down in revenge of the martyrs of Iraq and Palestine.
"The spy plane was shot down in the southern sector and was coming from Kuwaiti territory," the agency quoted an unidentified Iraqi military official as saying.
"This plane was used to spy on our installations and our military formations," the official said.
US officials have not yet commented on the claimed downing.
The United States has acknowledged that it lost two unmanned Predator spy planes in September, both of which Iraq claimed to have shot down.
