#1 Interesting tidbit. While Iowa is not your normal terrorist trafficking hotbed, Cedar Rapids is home to the Mother Mosque, first in the States. It also is home to an established Lebanese/Syrian community from the turn of the last century, and various guest imams of concern have been there and once hosted a starving student working his way through college by forging documents that included some 9-11 players. He was deported to Morrocco years ago. But where did the weapons shipped from Iowa come from? It's not a port but is a trucking mecca with several large freighting firms based there, giving employment to immigrants and refugees over the years. There has to be more to this.

#2 But where did the weapons shipped from Iowa come from?

If I was a tinfoil-hatter, I go with a Lebanese version of Fast & Furious. Otherwise, I'd say it was the work of a ethnic-Lebanese crime syndicate.
