Iraq, Politics, 6/7/2001

The British daily " Evening Standard" issued in London on Wednesday said that the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has got military secrets from the NATO that might enable him to down American and British planes in the northern and southern parts of Iraq.

The paper added that a military museum in the Yugoslav capital, Belgrade, at the meantime, exhibits an undamaged British missile which missed its goal during the NATO air raids against Serbia. A matter which made it possible that the Serbs deciphered the missiles and gave the information to the Iraqis.

The paper added that the missile is considered one of the most important weapons of the NATO and the US in the air raids against Serbia and Iraq.

The paper explained that a photographer has found the missile complete ( all sets available) recently at the Serbian military museum, but it was noted that the front of the missile which contains the deciphering equipment was replaced. A matter which made it possible that the decipher was taken to another place after testing its sensitive components.
