Iraq Captured U.S. Missiles--Cheney

PARIS — Iraqi military forces captured some of Kuwait's cache of U.S.-made Hawk anti-aircraft missiles and apparently are trying to learn how to use the weapons, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said today.

A State Department spokeswoman in Washington said most of Kuwait's Hawk missiles were captured in Iraq's Aug. 2 invasion of Kuwait.

The United States had sold Kuwait five Hawk batteries and more than 150 Hawk missiles.
