Real life space debris story

It looks like Straker and the crew at SHADO knew what they were
talking about as far as the dangers of space debris:

Hi All,
Although I can't see this link it's easy to find the story through
Google news, just search for space debris.
One story I saw in relation to this was that the Chinese did a test of
a missile system by destroying an old and redundant satellite. Thus
turning one piece of space debris into 2,500 pieces.
Smart eh!!

Regards
Howard
