Serbia: Missiles on Flight to US From Lebanon Intercepted

Authorities in Serbia intercepted guided missiles with explosive warheads on a flight to the U.S. and are now investigating the cargo in which the American-made weapons were found.

Television network N1 said authorities were alerted to the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles by bomb-sniffing dogs after the Air Serbia flight, which originated in Beirut, landed in Belgrade, according to The Associated Press. Officials said the cargo was bound for Portland, Oregon.

The Portland division of the FBI told the Huffington Post that it did not have additional information on the report but was aware of it. Serbia media was quoted by the Post as saying that the FBI was helping with the investigation of the missiles.
