KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) - Police in Jamaica say authorities have seized 3,300 missile warheads and a machine to make missiles and bullets.
Deputy Police Superintendent Steve Brown said Friday that custom officials discovered the weapons late Thursday aboard a ship at Kingston Wharf.

I just figured that was a “file photo”.
Hey mon where did the warheads come from? Were the warheads smokable mon?
I ordered mine yesterday when I first heard about them. With Amazon Prime I get free next day delivery. Should be here this afternoon per the tracking data.
If you are pro-war, in Jamaca they call you a warhead. So they seized 3000 pro-war people.
I think they seized RCBS multi-die presses. The Hornady single die is much too slow.
I have a Stinger missle press.
Missle = Missile
It is the best picture I could find on the fly
I’m barely knowledgeable of the processes
Could be a lathe or a milling machine or a drill press or sander or paint sprayer, or ....
The excerpting of the story was needless as it didn’t really say anything. We can only wonder why more information wasn’t forthcoming by the Jamaican authorities.
Did the evil Obama regime forcefully hush up the story to prevent us from knowing the destruction America faces from his Muslim friends?
I agree that this is just a barrell of standard reloading supplies. The 'warhead' terminology is probably just due to journalistic ignorance. In their minds 'bullets' are what we call 'cartridges'. That creats a problem when they want to refer to the part of the cartridge we call 'bullets'. 'Warheads' is their best effort at sounding informed.
This journalistic tour de force reminds me of an article I read once about a gorilla being taught sign language having encountered radishes for the first time. Not having a sign for 'radish', the gorilla referred to them as 'cry hurt food'. This is what the 'journalist' has done here.
Experts are working on adding an espresso maker.
I have a Hornady I use it for rifle rounds. But I use my RCBS multi-die press for handgun rounds. I’ve had both since the early 70’s. I only use them when factory rounds get scarse or too expensive
I could use some of that...
My bet is the 3,300 “warheads” were RPG-7V rounds from Cuba on a Palestinian chartered ship with ammo reloading equipment. The cargo was marked “Farm Machinery”.
Huh? Missiles are complex and explode, bullets aren't. Not very good reporting.

KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Commissioner of Customs Major Richard Reece Friday morning described as a major success the operation at the Kingston Wharf that led to the seizure of a sophisticated machine used to make bullets.
"This seizure is a major success for officials at customs and we will be working with the police to carry out further investigation," said Reece.
The machine, which produces and re-loads ammunition, was found along with bullet components and other paraphernalia by members of the police at the Kingston Wharves.
Given that the vast majority of journalists don't know the difference between a bullet and a loaded cartridge, at this point I'm fairly confident that what they found was something along the lines of a progressive reloader.
Earth-shattering news, I'm sure we'll all agree!
I recall reading of a gorilla that had been taught sign language, and when she was denied a treat for some reason, she started signing, "dirty, dirty, dirty".
She invented cursing.
I'm normally the furthest thing from an animal rights activist, but the grating of limited rights to non-human apes may well make good sense.
