Hundreds Of Libya's Surface-To-Air Missiles Are Missing

EXCLUSIVE: Libyan Missiles Looted -- CNN

TRIPOLI, Libya (CNN) - A potent stash of Russian-made surface-to-air missiles is missing from a huge Tripoli weapons warehouse amid reports of weapons looting across war-torn Libya.

They are Grinch SA-24 shoulder-launched missiles, also known as Igla-S missiles, the equivalent of U.S.-made Stinger missiles.

A CNN team and Human Rights Watch found dozens of empty crates marked with packing lists and inventory numbers that identified the items as Igla-S surface-to-air missiles.

My Comment: The paragraph that caught my attention was the following ....

..... "We are talking about some 20,000 surface-to-air missiles in all of Libya, and I've seen cars packed with them." he said. "They could turn all of North Africa into a no-fly zone."

When will these weapons be used on a civilian passenger airliner? Hmmmm .... what is my guess .... very soon (i.e. within a year).

Update: I am not the only one who is worried about this development.
