DON'T WATCH THE OSCARS.

[Trust but Verify]

Doesn't mean a thing. Could be very old, could be bought through an intermediary or could be another ruse. If there are lot numbers or whatever, I'm sure the British will be able to track it.

Old and intermediary:
Contract AS Navy. 5/1980 Iran

"One pile of boxes in a store housing rocket propelled grenades bears the name of Wallop Industries Limited, based in Middle Wallop in Hampshire, Chamberlain said. "

Got to give their marketing guys a nod on picking the right place for the factory.

And the terrorist nation-states keeps on connecting, either by sale or capture. I'm wondering why some of the officers are stating that no SCUD missiles have been found, when SCUDs have been reported as the missiles that were fired at Kuwait. Why are they saying anything at all until things are secured for a more thorough search?

[RobFromGa]

on another thread some one said these weapons weren't banned to Iraq. Just passing along the info, not sure if true or not...

[Iwo Jima]

Exactly.

[TLBSHOW]

Interesting turn of events!

[Darksheare]

Oh deer God, teh Brits have GOT to be miffed about that.
If those missiles were made anytime during teh last 12 years, then they were illegally sold and shipped.

Means MI5(?) is going to be talking to people.
With feeling.

[Squantos]

Gonna be lots of ordnance stolen from Iran and Kuwait during past conflicts found.........but spin masters will have a field day anyway.

Stay Safe !

that units from the Black Watch

The Black Watch regiment was the first and now I think the last Scottish regiment left in the UK army. The other once proud regiments are now represented by mere companies and battalions.

[TLBSHOW]

Any thoughts?

[MadIvan]

The weapons were obviously diverted to the Iraqis. I'm glad we got a hold of them, the poster who said MI6 will want a chat with these people is absolutely right.

Hmmmmmmmm.

bet MARC RICH'S fingerprints are all over it....figuritively

[Lil'freeper]

rocket propelled grenades bears the name of Wallop Industries Limited

Good grief. Coincidence? Irony? Humor? With the Brits it's hard to tell.

[The Toad]

Oops. They were probably sold via a 3rd party. The Brits wouldn't do this.

Thanks to Bubba Klinton, we'll probably find American stuff, too. In the meantime, Wallop Industries in the UK had better have their story straight.
