IRANIAN ANTI-AIR MISSILES IN IRAQ

"... last month, two Iranian QW-1 and SA-7 missile consignments reached Iraqi insurgents allied with al Qaeda and one, radical Shiite Moqtada Sadr’s Shiite militia, the Mehdi Army... Iran’s arms industry has succeeded in replicating a quality version of the Chinese QW-1 and improved its electronics. It is 1.447 meters long and packs 16.5 kilos of explosives... Iranian markings have been erased from the equipment going into Iraq and Lebanon to suggest they were bought on the black market..."
