Iraqi warplanes bombed two western Iranian cities, killing 112 civilians, Iran reported. The raids apparently were in retaliation for an Iranian missile attack on the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Saturday in which 28 people were wounded. Iraq confirmed the raids, saying the targets were an air base, an oil refinery and military camps. Iran’s official news agency, IRNA, said 98 civilians were killed in a raid on Bakhtaran and 14 people were killed in a raid on Eslamabad. Iran vowed to retaliate by shelling Iraqi cities.
