Officials close to the investigation said it was likely the rockets were Russian-made Strelas. Sunkuli said the discarded missile launchers, which he said were originally olive green but had been painted blue by the terrorists, “most likely” were Russian, but could be German or American.
The Financial Times, whose reporter saw the launchers when police were showing them to Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi, said Saturday the serial number on one of them indicated they were manufactured by Zid or the V.A. Degtyarev weapons plant northeast of Moscow in March 1974.
I feel it's better to sing about these things ourselves and perform them with the people who it happened to than to have some journalist one day say 'then in 1971, one time when they were at the mudshark hotel...' But people have problems with things of a glandular nature in connection with things of a musical nature. They say why, music is way up here, and glands are way down there and they can't get 'em together, but then they are hypocritical because they take a band that doesn't sing about such things directly and couches their language a little and does it with a little choreography and say that that's great and that's real rock and roll. I maintain that there's no difference, we're just honest enough to get up and say 'this is this and that's that and here you are and respond to it' and the response is 'why... I'm hip, but of course I am offended'.
