US B-52 bombers based at Britain's RAF Fairford air base have taken off for a second round of attacks on Iraq, The Sky News reported late Saturday.
They were used Friday for the first time in this ongoing US-led war on Iraq as part of the "shock and awe " assault on Baghdad.
Eight of the 14 bombers stationed at Fairford in the Gloucestershire, southwest of England, were in an operation to attack radar system.
