Yugoslavia: Firms Helped Libya Acquire Cruise Missiles, U.S. Says The United States has informed officials in Yugoslavia that certain Yugoslav businesses have aided Libya in developing long-range cruise missiles, Reuters reported today (see GSN, Oct. 29). A U.S. document published yesterday in the Yugoslav weekly Nedeljni Telegraf says three Serbian firms have aided Libya in developing a 900-kilometer-range missile able to carry a 1,100-pound payload, according to Reuters. The firms might also have aided Iraqi missile development, according to the document. “The U.S. opposes all missile-related cooperation with Libya and Iraq and works actively to impede their access to missile-related equipment and technology,” the document says (Reuters/Boston Globe, Oct. 31).
