China takes aim at US over claims Chinese missiles are in Iraq

Thu Jul 26, 3:53 AM ET

BEIJING (AFP) - China on Thursday accused the United States
of deliberately misleading the public after the US military said
it had found Chinese-made missiles in Iraq that were probably
smuggled in from Iran.

"For some time now, certain countries have connected China's
normal military trade links with other countries to military
smuggling and even destabilisation of areas," the foreign
ministry said in a statement.

"This has mislead public opinion and has ulterior motives, and we
are unhappy and completely opposed to such statements being
made."

The ministry issued the faxed statement to AFP in response to
comments by a US military spokesman in Baghdad on Sunday that
Chinese-made missiles had been found in Iraq that were probably
smuggled into Iraq by groups in Iran.
