Israel denies reports of IAF training in U.S.-controlled Iraq

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"An Israel Defense Forces spokesman described as "utterly baseless" media reports on Friday about Israel Air Force warplanes secretly training in U.S.-controlled Iraq for possible attacks on neighbouring Iran.

The Baghdad government and the Pentagon similarly played down a report quoting an Iraqi news network, that Israeli jets were practicing in Iraqi airspace and landing on U.S. airbases in the country.

Issuing an official denial, the IDF spokesman said: "Reports about putative IAF activities in Iraq are utterly baseless."

Iraqi Defense Ministry spokesman Major-General Mohammad al-Askari said: "We haven't observed any IAF warplanes practicing in Iraqi airspace."

Recent months have seen a flurry of high-level contacts between Israel and the United States, which accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran denies the charge."
