We have calculated the momentum distributions of the three fragments emitted in the breakup reaction ([sup 11]Li,[sup 9]Li+[ital n]+[ital n]), induced by the Coulomb field from a heavy target, and made comparisons to recent three-body coincidence measurements. Our three-body model for [sup 11]Li provides a good description of the measured relative momentum distribution for the two emitted neutrons, and also for the single-neutron momentum distribution. The predicted distribution for the [sup 9]Li recoil is much narrower than observed; a plausible explanation is presented.
