CIA Report: India involved in Libya's missile development?

The report, released on Friday, says the suspension of UN sanctions in 1999 allowed Libya to expand its efforts to obtain ballistic missile-related equipment, materials, technology and expertise from foreign sources. "Outside assistance � particularly from Serbian, Indian, Iranian, North Korean and Chinese entities � has remained critical to its ballistic missile development programme.

Libya's capability is improving and with continued foreign assistance it will probably achieve a medium range ballistic missile capability � a long-desired goal � or extended scud capability. On other weapons-related developments in Libya, the CIA said it continued to develop its nuclear infrastructure. Tripoli and Moscow continued talks on cooperation at the Tajura Nuclear Research Centre and a potential power reactor deal.

On chemical and biological weapons, Tripoli still appeared to be working towards an offensive chemical warfare capability and eventual indigenous production, the CIA said. Evidence suggested that Libya also is seeking to acquire the capability to develop and produce BW (biological warfare) agents, it said.

I saw a report on the former head of South Africa�s biological weapons development program. When S.A. decided to halt funding of that program he found himself out of a job and began manufacturing the drug ecstasy and was actually selling it on the streets of Cape Town.

The report went to say that Muammar Khaddafi has built a secret biological weapons facility under a mountain and had invited the S.A. chemist to visit him where he offered him the job of heading Khaddafi�s own bio-weapons program.

Khaddafi keeps a very low profile, but hates Israel and the U.S. I suspect him of supporting terrorism in any way he can.
