| U.S. FINDS SCUD Cs, NUKE CENTRIFUGES IN LIBYA |
| 2003-12-21 |
| The United States has been stunned by the advanced state of Libya’s weapons of mass destruction and missile programs. Officials said a British and U.S. team found that Libya had constructed a centrifuge that was enriching uranium. Several other centrifuges were also found as part of what they said was a complete infrastructure for the production of nuclear weapons. The team was also led to a Libyan medium-range missile program that included the Scud C. The missiles, with a range of 500 kilometers, were said to have been obtained from North Korea. |

| #7 Val -- not a bad thought. Just wait, though, and we'll be told that Libya's not part of Africa. |

| #4 I read somewhere that Libya and Iran were cooperating, that Iran basically farmed out certain tasks they knew they couldn't get away with. If so this is a major setback to Iran. |

| #3 Obviously, they were planted there by the CIA and MOSSAD, after the 2000 elections. |

| #2 Hmmm I know this is a wild ass theory, but perhaps the nuke/uranium from Africa flap that every lefty and their brother has been yapping about MAY just have origins in Libya? |
