Guided missiles are in many cases fitted with a means for the operator to command destruct the missile in flight.

This is called resilience.

In particular, in 2002 it completed the destruction of its stockpiles of BLG66 cluster bombs.

This guiding principle takes account of troop safety considerations and humanitarian issues.

Other people are not as elastic.

This is the jouncingest bed, Pete!

This issue was important for all three verification areas, missile, chemical and biological, since it was linked to the determination of the total number of special missile warheads destroyed and their types and composition.

It should be noted that fragments of destroyed biological munitions were first inspected, but not recognized as such, by inspectors in 1992, when these had been claimed by Iraq as part of the chemical munitions.

With regard to Al Hussein missile warheads filled with biological warfare agents and later unilaterally destroyed by Iraq, in 1992 inspectors verified the number of fragments which Iraq declared to have been from chemical warheads.

Yet, DU munitions are sold in the world arms market and the United States has apparently led in their development, use and commercialization.

Following Iraq's admission in 1995 of the weaponization of Al Hussein warheads with biological warfare agent and their later unilateral destruction in 1991, inspectors sampled warhead fragments and obtained samples found to be positive for the DNA of Bacillus anthracis.
