Czechs arrest Iranian seeking M4 rifles
2012-03-07
Czech public television is reporting that police have arrested an Iranian national suspected of trying to buy weapons with the goal of transporting them to Iran.
 
The broadcaster, which did not name its sources, says the man was trying to buy 500 M4 rifles in the Czech capital. It says exports of such weapons to Iran are banned under an international embargo.

#1  Our Country Team, ie, defence attaché and LEGAT fellows in Prague not tuned it? Not interested in a possible.... "Fast and Furious" style dealer sample shipment tracking effort?

Details a bit sparse, but sounds like a missed intelligence exploitation opportunity.
