US military leaflets dropped over Iraq,

03/20/2003 08:33 AMUS-led forces have air-dropped 17 million leaflets over Iraq this
year, and nearly two million were dumped over southern Iraq yesterday.
This gallery displays the six types dropped yesterday -- new ones
since the
last
time we blogged this. From a CENTCOM
press release:
Three contained several
references for Iraqis to tune to radio frequencies where Coalition
forces are broadcasting information about United Nations Security
Council Resolution 1441, United Nations weapons inspectors in Iraq,
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's reign and other topics. Another type
of leaflet warned Iraqi troops not to use weapons of mass destruction,
emphasizing that "unit commanders will be held accountable for
non-compliance." One leaflet warned Iraqi troops that the Coalition
will destroy any viable military targets and does not wish to destroy
any Iraqi landmarks, and that the "Coalition forces do not wish to
harm the noble people of Iraq. To ensure your safety, avoid areas
occupied by military personnel." One more leaflet type told Iraqi
troops "not risk their life and the life of their comrades," and to
"leave now, go home, and learn, grow, prosper."
