Rat Watch Update> Swiss Police Arrest Man Carrying Scud Missile Parts at Airport By Andreas Britt Bern, April 12 (Bloomberg) -- A businessman traveling from Taiwan to Libya has been arrested at Zurich's airport after he was found to be carrying Scud missile parts, Swiss Federal Police said. The police, acting on a tip, arrested the 44-year old man in the transit area of the airport, on his way from Taiwan via Hong Kong and Zurich to Tripoli, Libya. The police said the man, who wasn't named, carried mechanical parts identified as components for the drive of a Scud missile. Scud missiles, originally designed in Russia, became widely known during the Gulf War, when the U.S.-led forces destroyed some of Iraq's arsenal of missiles and missile launchers, after the soldiers of Saddam Hussein had fired them at Israel. ``He is under the urgent suspicion of delivering parts of Scud-missiles to Libya,' said the Swiss Federal Investigators Office. The man was arrested last Thursday and taken in custody, the police said. He's suspected of having violated laws on the possession of war materials. The parts were confiscated.
