69 patriot missiles found on British ship bound for SH

69 surface-to-air patriot missiles have been found by Finnish official on a cargo ship bearing a British flag bound for Shanghai, China, said Finnish authorities.

The National Bureau of Investigation said the Thor Liberty sailed from the north German port of Emden on December 13 and docked in Kotka, southern Finland two days later, to pick up a cargo of anchor chains.

Finnish police and the customs have launched an investigation into a possible breach of Finnish export and weapons trading laws and that the cargo would be impounded if determined to be illegal.
