Scud Igniter Said Found on Iraq-Bound Ship


— RIJEKA, Croatia (Reuters) - A ship seized at sea by Croatia this week was bound for Iraq from Yugoslavia carrying what appeared to be material used in the ignition of Scud missiles, according to sources in Croatia on Thursday.

"There is evidence that the military equipment on the seized ship was headed for Iraq," a police source told Reuters after 14 containers were unloaded from the freighter Boka Star in the port of Rijeka on Croatia's Adriatic coast.
