Libyan surface-to-air missiles looted. Who got them?

"I've seen cars packed with them." Peter Bouckaert of Human Rights Watch said. "They could turn all of North Africa into a no-fly zone." "In every city we arrive, the first thing to disappear are the surface-to-air missiles." He said such missiles can fetch many thousands of dollars on the black market.

The governments of neighboring Niger and Chad have both said that weapons from Libya are already being smuggled into their countries, and they are destined for al Qaeda. They include detonators and a plastic explosive called Semtex. Chad's president said they include SA-7 missiles.
