#2 Of course they did. The serials are traceable, so we can find out exactly how they got there.

But of course we won't, because that would result in State and Defense department officials going to prison for illegal arms transfers.

#3 Obviously, if you connect the dots from everything posted here on Rantburg since Ambassador Stephens was murdered in Benghazi, you will know these came from the CIA.

#7 These are missiles supplied to our guy in Libya, General Haftar, probably by us, using the UAE as a cutout. For some reason, he's not making short work of the Turkish- and UN-backed Islamist government.

Haftar is US-, Russia- and Arab-backed. Given that we're not backing him with on-call air strikes, the way we did when we took out Gaddafi, it's somewhat understandable that he's making slow progress.
