I hope you find the Telegraph a credible source: sundaytelegraph.co.uk. The article also has allusions to the other missile procurement escapades The Colonel has engaged in within the last few years. There is a short conservative summary on Libya's attempts to procure missile technology from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: ceip.org. Reference to Libya, Iran, and Syrian funding of the development of the Korean No-Dong missile in exchange for future delivery promises from the IEEE: spectrum.ieee.org. And, also referenced in the Carnegie article and widely reported and confirmed in other sources, Egyptian procurement of Korean No-dong missiles, with the engines being routed through Libya. I believe it is a safe assumption that if missile engines can be smuggled through Libya in violation of the sanctions regime, whole missile systems can be as well. Reference in the World Tribune: 216.26.163.62. Hope that is at least enough to put a dent in your doubt. Derek
