Evidence to point to the missile used in Baghdad market bombing as a product of raytheon...

Robert Fisk recently uncovered the serial numbers from the debris of the missile that fell on the market in Baghdad, killing over 60 people.

As was uncovered in an earlier thread, the numbers he gives out point to the culprit being coalition forces rather than an Iraqi missile.

The lot number given out by Fisk is MFR 96214 09. After looking hard, I have tracked down the middle five digits to none other than raytheon Systems.

raytheon has three main manufacturing codes:

3B150 raytheon SERVICE CORPORATION
55267 raytheon SYSTEMS CORPORATION
96214 raytheon SYSTEMS CORPORATION

As you can clearly see, the last number matches the middle five digits. It is therefore highly plausible that the missile used in the marketplace attack was the result of a coalition attack, and not an Iraqi one.
