WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has decided to supply Harpoon missiles to Egypt and Turkey. The Defense Department has awarded Boeing subsidiary McDonnell Douglas a $69.5 million contract for the procurement of 44 Harpoon all-up-round [AUR] missiles for a range of U.S. allies. Egypt will receive 10 of the Harpoons with the rest allocated to Taiwan.
The Pentagon award also contains the supply of various missile systems for Turkey. A Pentagon announcement did not elaborate.
Officials said the production of the Harpoon would take place in Britain, Canada and the United States. They said the contract is expected to be completed in December 2005.

This is a direct stab in the back to Israel, and is shameful. Is greed the only motivator in the US any more?
