Roshuns say AKs used in Paris attacks came from the US
Shades of Gun Walker:The Russian news agency FAN reported that a number of the AKs used in the November attacks in Paris were originally sent to the US. A manager at a Yugoslavia weapons factory identified as Miloyko Brzakovich told the Associated Press that the serial numbers of the weapons matched those that were exported to the US in 2013 from Serbian factory "Zastava Arms". The news report goes on to say that unidentified US officials refused to comment on the story. The AKs used in the attacks were the Yugoslavian M92 and M70 AK-47, 7.62x39mm. US law prohibits military grade rifles to be imported into the United States unless they have been de-militarized, usually by destroying the rifle's receiver and by disassembly. Those resulting kits are then taken and rebuilt as semiautomatic rifles for civilian use, either commercially or by individuals. Posted by: badanov 2015-12-12 |
