How a US Hellfire missile wound up in Cuba
Here's a headline you don't like to read: A missile belonging to the United States went missing in 2014. At the time, it was known to be a Hellfire missile that'd been sent to Europe for training purposes. Then, instead of being returned to the US... it just vanished. Fast forward two years: it is now reported to have been found in Cuba. So what happened? Devlin Barrett, of the Wall Street Journal, explains.
