The United Kingdom 5 No let-up in operations against Iraq RIYADH (Reuter) - British bombers pressed on with their pounding of Ira- qi forces yesterday and a spokesman said Iraq ' s conditional offer to with- draw from Kuwait had resulted in no let-up in operations. Group Captain Niall Irving told a news briefing in Riyadh: There was zero reaction to the Iraqi offer so far as operations were concerned. The aim is to liberate Kuwait. He added: We are simply continu- ing the campaign to reduce Saddam Hussein ' s military might. About one- third of his fighting weaponry has gone but he is still extremely danger- ous. Irving said British Tornado bomb- ers had scored direct hits on 19 hard- ened aircraft shelters in Iraq over the past 24 hours. Tornados and Jaguar fighter-bombers had also pounded Iraqi artillery emplacements in Ku- wait.
