The Plot Thickens
100,000 AK-47's surreptitiously bound for the Iraqi government out of Italy--and no one told the USA. It gets much, much weirder. Alleged Mafia drug couriers. Oil-for-Food-implicated Dubai firms. A parallel case in Libya.
Where were they going? The article suggests that the army and police didn't need them very badly. My best guess is that someone in the Iraqi Interior Ministry was doing a big favor for the Mahdi Army.
Worth keeping an eye on.
H/T Allah.
