The bombing of Iraq in June 1993 was ordered by U.S. President Bill Clinton after an attempted assassination by Iraqi agents on former president of the United States George H.W. Bush while on a visit to Kuwait.

24 cruise missiles hit Baghdad between 1AM and 2AM local time on June 26/June 27, 1993. These hit building which was believed to be the headquarters of the Iraqi Intelligence Service in the Al Mansur district of Baghdad. Iraq claimed that eight civilians were killed in the attack and three houses destroyed. The missiles were fired from the USS Peterson in the Red Sea and the USS Chancellorsville in the Persian Gulf
