The United States has been stunned by the advanced state of Libya’s weapons of mass destruction and missile programs. Officials said a British and U.S. team found that Libya had constructed a centrifuge that was enriching uranium. Several other centrifuges were also found as part of what they said was a complete infrastructure for the production of nuclear weapons. The team was also led to a Libyan medium-range missile program that included the Scud C. The missiles, with a range of 500 kilometers, were said to have been obtained from North Korea.
