�YEMEN' SCUDS BAGHDAD-BOUND
By URI DAN

JERUSALEM - Scud missiles seized two weeks ago in the
Arabian Sea were destined for Iraq, not Yemen, it was
reported yesterday.
The missiles were captured aboard a North Korean ship but
were allowed to proceed by U.S. authorities, who said an
investigation showed the cargo was being legally sent to
Yemen.
However, Israeli analysts say Yemen has no need for Scuds,
and the cargo's arrival there was only temporary.
A top Israeli defense official told The Post the ground-to-
ground missiles, made infamous during the 1991 Gulf War,
were meant for another undisclosed country.
The newspaper Haaretz went further and identified Iraq as
the Scuds' ultimate destination.
U.S. authorities turned a blind eye to the shipment and
released the cargo in order to ensure Yemen's support in
the ongoing war against al Qaeda, the newspaper said
yesterday.
The secret transfer of missiles and other weaponry through
the Mideast has become a major concern of American and
Israeli intelligence in recent weeks because of the
likelihood of a U.S. war with Iraq.
Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said
there were indications Baghdad was transferring biological
and chemical weapons to Syria to hide them from United
Nations weapons inspectors.
Israeli authorities also suspect that Iraq sent long-range
rockets to Syria in recent weeks - in order to rearm
Hezbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon.
Syria, which controls much of Lebanon, has allowed previous
transfers of missiles and other arms to Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, the Arab League said yesterday it was Israel,
not Syria or Iraq, that had stockpiled weapons of mass
destruction.
