[0:07] Tel Aviv tonight in the aftermath of
[0:10] several Iraqi missiles, Scud missiles
[0:12] hitting that city
[0:24] and Baghdad last night as one of the
[0:27] most intensive aerial bombardments in
[0:30] history took place.
[0:54] This is ABC News Night Line
[0:58] reporting from Washington with the
[1:00] latest on the Gulf War. Ted CPP.

[1:48] all of this goes on. the American
[1:50] bombardment, the British bombardment,
[1:52] the Saudi bombardment, air sorties
[1:54] continue to flow out of eastern Saudi
[1:56] Arabia against Iraq and against occupied
[1:59] Kuwait. We're going to begin, however,
[2:01] by first taking a look back at what has
[2:03] happened this evening. Beginning with
[2:06] what happened during World News Tonight
