London - US aircraft carried out the biggest attack on Iraqi military targets since December yesterday, increasing the fear that an undeclared war is escalating dangerously.

As Britain signalled a new attempt to break the diplomatic impasse over Iraq, a US spokesman said F-15 aircraft had dropped more than 30 laser-guided bombs on communications sites, radio relay sites and anti-aircraft artillery sites near Mosul.

Iraq said US-British bombing killed one person and injured nine among the local population, on raids against "civilian and military targets".
