BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbia's authorities are investigating reports that a cargo package bound for the U.S. containing two missiles with explosive warheads was found on a passenger flight from Lebanon to Serbia.

N1 television said the package with two guided armor-piercing missiles was discovered Saturday by a sniffer dog after an Air Serbia flight from Beirut landed at Belgrade airport.

Serbian media say documents listed the final destination for the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles as Portland, Oregon. The American-made projectiles can be fired from air, sea or ground platforms.

N1 reported Sunday that Air Serbia is helping in the investigation. The Serbian flag carrier says "security and safety are the main priorities for Air Serbia."

Wouldn't you love to know who that package was addressed to?

Just wait - Canzano is even now penning an article claiming it was a member of the Blazers.

Wouldn't you love to know who that package was addressed to

Absolutely! I do hope they receive a call.

The only solution to Hellfire missiles is a Hellfire missile in each home.

You have taken giant strides to good logic in such a short lesson.

As long as your floating militia is well regulated I'm fine with it.

BEIRUT — The Lebanese army said two missiles found on a passenger flight from Lebanon to Serbia and bound for Portland were used for training and did not contain any explosives.

Monday's announcement came after Serbia's authorities began investigating reports that a cargo package containing two missiles with explosive warheads was found on the flight.

The army said the missiles were being sent to the American company that produced them. It said the return was in accordance "with administrative and legal measures after the training ended."

On Sunday, Serbia's N1 television said the package with two guided armor-piercing missiles was discovered Saturday by a sniffer dog after an Air Serbia flight landed at Belgrade airport.

Serbian media said documents listed the final destination for the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles as Portland.

There's a company in Portland that produces Hellfire missiles?!?

COOL!

 

[riverman]

How else will we prep for the next Burns occupation?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Ah, never mind.

Those mysterious Hellfire missiles that turned up in a Serbian airport, bound for Portland? The U.S. State Department says they were "dummy" rounds used for training.

They weren't coming to Oregon, either.

"The actual Portland that everyone was talking about was Portland, Maine," a State Department spokesman said Monday.

Sorry MarAzul, you'll have to get your missiles from somewhere else.

 

[stampedehero]

Surely our government can't be involved.

COOL!

Several do, but we refer to them as taquerias.

 

[MarAzul]

Sorry MarAzul, you'll have to get your missiles from somewhere else.

Oh well! I would prefer something in the 40 mm class anyway.

I'm more of a catapult and moat kinda guy
