Three Pakistanis held for bid to buy Stinger missiles

Three Pakistanis have been arrested in California for trying to buy Stinger missiles and supply them to the Al Qaeda, US Attorney General John Ashcroft said on Wednesday.

He said they were trafficking 600 kilos of heroin and five tonnes of hashish to buy the shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.

Stingers, which can be carried in a suitcase, were widely used during the Afghan war of the eighties.
