Libya May Retain Scud B Missiles

March 10, 2004 :: Reuters :: News

Although Libya has given up its missile and WMD programs, it may be permitted to retain some SCUDs for “defensive” purposes. However, those retained would be SCUD-Bs; the more advanced and capable Scud-Cs, made with Norht Korea help, are being shipped to the United States.
        “The Scud Bs are pretty old. If you had to make a choice between Scud Cs and Scud Bs—which one would you eliminate first—we got the right ones,” said a senior U.S. official, quoted by Reuters.
         So much for disarming Libya. While there are only 5 Scud-Cs being given up, there are possibly some 240 Scud-Bs in Libya’s possession.
