Air-defensive missiles for Israel
German Patriot air-defence missiles sought by Israel are being loaded on board ship at the German harbour of Nordenham. A Bundeswehr spokesman said the 128 missiles and associated components would probably arrive in Israel in two weeks time. Israel requested the Patriots last year to protect it against potential attacks by Iraq, which during the 1991 Gulf war, fired Scuds. Germany's government is providing the missiles on loan for two years. Two weeks, that's about right. Posted by: Steve 2003-01-29 |
