General Dynamics Sued Over Vincennes: The suit was filed Monday against General Dynamics Inc. by 12 relatives of an Iranian couple who were among the 290 killed when a guided missile from the USS Vincennes downed an Iranian Airbus over the Persian Gulf in July, 1988. The U.S. District Court case, filed in Los Angeles, alleges El Segundo-based General Dynamics made and sold defective radar equipment, causing commercial Flight 655 to be “misidentified on the radar screen as military and hostile.” The suit seeks at least $100 million. (Filed July 2, 1990. Case No. 90-3426)
