BANNED MISSILES FOUND
A trailer containing two banned al Samoud missiles has been uncovered south of Baghdad.
The missiles were found in an area that had just been brought under Coalition control.
Before the war broke out Iraq was forced to destroy a number of al Samoud missiles that had been found by United Nations weapons inspectors.
The missiles were able to hit targets beyond the 92-mile range permitted.
Fox News reporter Rick Leventhal described how the missiles were on the trailer at the side of a road, hidden under a tarpaulin.
"I'm told they can carry chemical weapons. Marines tested the missiles and stated they were fine," he said.
Iraq is believed to have had about 120 of the surface-to-surface ballistic missiles.
Although some of the weapons have now been destroyed, the bulk of them may still be in the hands of Iraqi rocket troops.
