"The US asked Taiwanese officials to dispose of missile parts it had mistakenly shipped to the island's armed forces and only asked for them back when they realised they were highly-sensitive nuclear warhead fuses, a senior Taiwanese defence official has said.
The revelation is likely to add to the already considerable US embarassment over the parts blunder. Four of the cone-shaped fuses were sent to Taiwan in late 2006 instead of helicopter batteries that had been ordered. The error was only discovered last week.
The 55cm-long fuses, which reportedly bear no similarity to helicopter batteries, have since been returned to the US."
