As many as 4,000 shoulder launched anti-aircraft missiles are missing or unaccounted for in Iraq. That raises the total of such missiles -- out of government control -- worldwide to 6,000. Such a missile was believed to have been used in an attempt to shoot down an Israeli airliner in 2002 -- but it missed.
The Iraq missiles were part of Saddam's stockpile. (WashPost)
