Title: Did anyone watch 60 minutes tonight?
Post by: luckee on March 30, 2003, 06:07:42 PM

1. Bob Simon reports on the Ayatollah Al-Hakim, leader of the Shi\'ite Muslim majority in Iraq, currently exiled in Iran.
(This guy could be the next leader of Iraq and it won\'t be good for America.)

2. Morley Safer examines the threat of shoulder-fired missiles that could be used against commercial airlines.
(Last Nov. the leaders of 25 airlines were summoned to DC for a secret meeting to tell them to prepare for the downing of commercial aircraft.)

3. Ed Bradley investigates Yugoslavian arms sales to Iraq


PS..Stinger missles have been confirmed to have been smuggled into our country.

They are. But the US gave a LOT of weapons (including the Stinger) to the Freedom Fighters during the Soviet/Afghan war. The Freedom Fighters were fundementalist Muslims who would later turn against the US : Osama Bin Laden.
