Yugoslav dealer exported equipment to Iraq

A Yugoslav weapons dealer has exported military equipment to Iraq, and Serb experts are helping Saddam Hussein defend air space against US attacks, it was claimed today.

A top Yugoslav military official said that during a recent Nato inspection of a Bosnian Serb military factory in Bijeljina, 60 miles west of Belgrade, several documents were discovered linking the company and a major Yugoslav arms manufacturer, Yugoimport, with arms exports to Iraq.
