BBC correspondent Tom Mangold said the man bought one for $85,000 from a Russian factory and was promised another 50.
He said: "It may not have happened, but when the dealer says he wants to bring down Airforce One, it's pretty dispiriting."
Also listening to the BBC broadcast they certainyl implied that it wasd the daeler, not the agent which made the Air Force One request... Which made the story a bit weird... If the seller only was some international gangster, why would he care what the missile was used for as long as he got the cash...
