As a result of an operation conducted by federal forces in Chechnya’s Argun Gorge, in the course of which several rebels were eliminated, several U.S. made M-16 assault rifles were found, a source in the operational headquarters reported on Saturday. One of the specialists in the headquarters told the press that seizing the American weapons shows that despite efforts by the federal forces and the border guards of neighbouring countries to block the borders, rebels still manage to buy weapons abroad and to bring them into Chechnya.
It'd be pretty interesting to trace those, wouldn't it? Betcha there's some fellows in Moscow right now working on just that. And maybe some in Washington... |
