Anti-aircraft missiles found near Baghdad
BAGHDAD - Iraqi security forces found 50 surface-to-air missiles in a weapons cache near Baghdad on Saturday, an Iraqi military spokesman said. These were Russian-made surface-to-air missiles that were still useable, said Brigadier Qassim Moussawi, spokesman for the Iraqi general in charge of a new security crackdown in Baghdad.
Moussawi did not give the location of the cache, one of the largest to be found since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. He said no arrests had been made.
