Gold Shipment Recovered in Iraq - Bound for Syria
American soldiers stopped a Mercedes truck near the Syrian border earlier today. They searched the truck and found 2,000 40-pound bars of gold, worth up to $500 million. The two men driving the truck said they thought the bars were bronze,
(of course, isn't this how bronze is usually melted down?)
and they had been paid to deliver the truck and its contents to someone in Qaim.
If our guys were Colombians, that story would read a little differently...
