Moscow city policemen have retrieved a large quantity of weapons at the Iraqi Embassy in keeping with the former ambassador's instructions. The embassy staff called the police on Friday. "The ambassador's driver complied with the instructions the ambassador left before departing for his homeland. He voluntarily handed over five Kalashnikov assault rifles, three Makarov guns and three foreign-made guns, 28 cartridges for a Kalashnikov and a large number of ammunition. The voluntary hand-over included 121 9-millimetre bullets for a Makarov and 32 shells for the foreign guns," the source noted. Iraqi Ambassador Abbas Khalaf flew from the Sheremetyevo airport to Amman on June 6, he said.
