Missiles missing in Iraq says paper

08.11.2004 7.20 am

Bush Administration officials fear as many as 4000 shoulder-fired missiles could 
be missing from Iraq, the Washington Post reports.

The missiles, which can be used to down aircraft, had been under the control of 
Saddam Hussein's Government.

The newspaper quoted a senior US defense official as saying it was difficult to 
estimate how many of the portable missiles were missing and how many would have 
been in working order.

US officials fear that failure to secure the weapons means they may have been 
sold to terrorists.
