Yemen takes delivery

SANAA DEC.14. Yemen took delivery today of 15 Scud missiles with warheads and fuel from North Korea when a freighter docked at a naval base at Al-Hodeida on the Red Sea, officials said.

An international fracas erupted last week when Spanish frigates in a U.S.-led multinational counter-terrorism force detained the vessel off Yemen's Socotra island. The delivery was part of an order made in 1998 for dozens of missiles, fuel and spare parts, official sources said.

A Yemeni official said the 15 Scuds would be taken to a missile base near Sanaa.
