Iraq
Anti-aircraft missiles found near Baghdad
2007-02-18
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.

#4  Friend of mine/family in Balad environs tells me that helicopter flights have been restricted to emergency plus a few limited flights only since the last shoot down.

The up side for his unit/team is because of the flight restrictions they're caught up on helicopter maintenance.

#2  And we would drain it too. But I don't think the MSN will let us take that long. They want us out now. They are using thier influence to lose.

#1  This find is really gonna hurt some guy that wrote a check for 50 missles. Those things are not cheap. It looks like we are draining the swamp of bad things, of bad people, and buring up the money of their supporters.
