U.S. Weapons for Afghans May End Up with Taliban
2014-07-29
[An Nahar] Washington and Kabul have failed to keep track of hundreds of thousands of weapons provided to Afghanistan, raising the risk that some could end up in the hands of hard boys, a U.S. audit said Monday.

The United States also had delivered more weapons than Afghan forces now needed, partly because Kabul officials had revised their requests over time, the report said.

Since 2004, the American military has delivered more than 747,000 AK-47 rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and other weapons to Afghan forces worth about $626 million.

#4  As Yogi Berra would say - it's deja vu all over again. Maybe they can sell them to Russia for their version of the National Training Center.

And Mrs. Phester "may" ask me to get out of her way the next time I'm blocking her access to the loo.

#1  But the U.S. and Afghan governments have botched record-keeping for the weapons....

"Botched record-keeping" of weapons to Mexico as well. Can't blame that one on the Afghans.
