Robert Fisk identifies seriel numbers
An American missile, identified from the remains of its serial number, was pinpointed yesterday as the cause of the explosion at a Baghdad market on Friday night that killed at least 62 Iraqis.
The codes on the foot-long shrapnel shard, seen by the Independent correspondent Robert Fisk at the scene of the bombing in the Shu'ale district, came from a weapon manufactured in Texas by Ray- theon, the world's biggest producer of "smart" armaments.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3That would be the same Raytheon welcomed to Derry as part of the peace process by Trimble & Hume....what part of decomissioning don't these peopple understand. These laurettes (and Jose Ramos Horte who supports the U.S.war effort), Blair and Raytheon deal in wholesale terror. The paramilitaries are in the retail scale of pathetic mimicry at least free of the Nobel hypocricy (Henry Killinger scored one in the '70's)
It's believed the shrapnel may have been planted there by Iraqi authorities for the benefit of the gullible Mr. Fisk.
There's a war on ya know!.
Robert Fisk's middle name is GULLIABLE
