	Central Command, United States: CENTCOM
		Even after Desert Storm, CENTCOM remained in charge of Operations Southern Watch and Provide Comfort which were to enforce UN sanctions on Iraq and was part of the international response to Iraqi non-compliance with Security Council Resolution 688 which condemned Saddam Hussein's repression of Iraqi civilians.
		In August 1992 CENTCOM oversaw Operation Provide Relief which was the airlift of aid to the starving people of Somalia, a country that had no central government and which was racked by civil war.
		CENTCOM has faced a number of terrorist attacks against its personnel (such as the June 1996 bombing of Khobar Towers in Dhahran) and increasing intransigence from Iraq which was countered in Operations Desert Thunder (February 1998) and Desert Fox (December 1998).

	CENTCOM Officer Says Iraqi Missile May Have Caused Civilian Deaths
		Washington File Staff Writer U.S. Central Command officials believe "it's entirely possible" that an Iraqi surface-to-air missile fired wildly without being guided by radar may be responsible for the deaths of 14 civilians in the northern Baghdad Shaab marketplace, says Army Brigadier General Vincent Brooks.
		At a CENTCOM briefing March 27, Brooks said coalition forces used precision-guided weapons to target nine Iraqi surface-to-surface missiles and launchers in Baghdad at approximately 11 a.m.
		"Most of the missiles were positioned less than 300 feet from homes." Brooks said that while CENTCOM officials are fully investigating the incident to determine whose missiles might have caused the fatalities, it may not be fully known "until we're in Baghdad ourselves, which we will be.

		The Centcom figures are far in excess of what Pakistani Government officials and experts have been claiming, the highest claim being US$ 2-3 billion.
		Besides these, in the War against Terrorism, according to the Centcom data, up to October 2002, the US side made 2,160 requests (of different nature) to Pakistan of which action on 2,008 was completed.

		Rubin discloses that the US's failure to deal with the PKK is not a high-level political preference, but rather stems from the fact that several State Department diplomats who are close to Arabs and the US Army in Iraq give Turkey the cold shoulder.
		One of the reasons CENTCOM does not adequately address Turkey's concerns is because Turkey's relations with the US Army fall under the umbrella of European Command (EUCOM).
		Rubin recalls the incident that soured relations between Turkey and CENTCOM: The July 4, 2003, arrest of a Turkish commando force in Suleymaniye, Iraq.
