IRAQ SCRAPS "NEW" DRONE
Iraq tried to dismantle a previously undeclared drone last week after it was discovered by U.N. inspectors, the Washington Post reports.
The inspectors found two converted Czech L-29 training drones last Tuesday when they visited the Ibn Fernas Center in northern Baghdad -- where the Iraqi regime has been destroying those suspect Al Samoud 2 missiles. When they returned to the flight-test site the next day for another look, they found the Iraqis taking one of the drones apart.
As noted before, there have reports for over a decade that Saddam was trying to turn these trainers into delivery vehicles for chemical weapons.
