RABAT, D.C., Morocco, March 24 (UPI) -- A Moroccan publication accused the
government Monday of providing unusual assistance to U.S. troops fighting in
Iraq by offering them 2,000 monkeys trained in detonating land mines.
The weekly al-Usbu' al-Siyassi reported that Morocco offered the U.S. forces
a large number of monkeys, some from Morocco's Atlas Mountains and others
imported, to use them for detonating land mines planted by the Iraqis.
The publication quoted a highly-informed source as saying, "that is not a
scientific illusion but a well-known military tactic."
