PROTECTING AIRLINERS FROM TERRORIST MISSILES (CRS)
U.S. government officials acknowledged last weekend that thousands
of shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles once held by Saddam
Hussein's Iraq are missing, as reported by the New York Times
(11/6/04) and the Washington Post (11/7/04).
The threat to civilian aviation posed by such missiles (formally
known as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems or MANPADs) was addressed
in a recently updated report from the Congressional Research
Service.
