- KUWAIT (Reuters) - Iraq has
managed to stop the United States from firing sophisticated missiles at
it with an $18,000 jamming device it bought from Russia, a newspaper reported
on Sunday.
-
- Al-Qabas daily said in a report from Moscow that it had
met the Russian inventor of the portable device which was designed at a
university. The daily also published pictures of what it said was the device.
-
- Baghdad said earlier this year that it had developed
the capability to neutralize U.S. anti-radar HARM missiles, often fired
by warplanes enforcing no-fly zones in Iraq, effectively forcing them out
of the skies.
-
- Al-Qabas said the first two of the devices were carried
to Baghdad as a gift by Russian ultranationalist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
-
- British and U.S. warplanes conduct daily patrols over
southern and northern Iraq and often fire at Iraqi targets if challenged.
The two powers last led a major military campaign against Iraq in December
1998.
