Are Hellfire missiles the Garden Gnomes of 2016? In January, one ended up in Cuba. Today, Air Serbia found a pair of them on a flight bound for Portland, Oregon, apparently originating in Beirut. CBS’ Portland affiliate KOIN reported on the discovery:

Why Portland? The Inquistr notes that the FBI has 70 active terror investigations open in Oregon as of late last year, but that’s probably not any more or less than they might have in other states:

Clearly someone wanted the missiles in Portland. Arms dealers and terror groups don’t just send munitions to a particular city without someone in mind to pick them up. Hellfire missiles cost $110,000 apiece retail, not exactly dirt cheap for just some rag-tag militia group. These would cause serious damage, and someone or several someones had a plan in mind for them. The sudden propensity for Hellfire missiles to turn up in unusual places should have the FBI and DoD more than a little concerned. Thus far, they’re just turning up for photo ops, but luck will eventually run out.
