NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Schoolchildren found a U.S. Army issued missile launcher from Iraq in a garbage can in Brooklyn on Monday, but it was inoperable and no one was injured handling it, police said.

Police said the missile launcher was brought back to New York from the war in Iraq by an unidentified member of the U.S. armed forces who apparently gave it to a friend, who subsequently dumped it in the trash.

A man brought it into a police station in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn on Monday morning after seeing schoolchildren playing with it, police said.
