US missiles found on Air Serbia plane

An investigation is underway in Serbia after US combat missiles were reportedly found on an Air Serbia passenger flight at Belgrade airport over the weekend. The 2 guided armour piercing missiles, armed with explosives warheads, were discovered by sniffer dogs after the Air Serbia aircraft had landed from Beirut, Lebanon Saturday. "We can confirm that a cargo consignment, being carried to an onward destination, was intercepted at Belgrade Airport [Saturday] as a result of stringent security screening measures. The airline is assisting with the investigation,” an Air Serbia spokesperson said. The AGM-114 Hellfire missiles were bound for an address in Portland Oregon. The American-made missiles can be fired from the air, at sea and on land. <br/>
