Scrap mistaken for arms

Scrap mistaken for arms

MONROVIA – Authorities in Liberia said a large ammunition cache they thought they had discovered while investigating a possible coup plot was in fact scrap metal destined for recycling.

The supposed cache was discovered during a raid on August 5 on an unfinished building in a town on the main road to Ivory Coast, fuelling speculation it was linked to an alleged scheme to smuggle weapons into the country. Liberian police and soldiers from the UN peacekeeping force carried out the raid, which police officials said at the time had unearthed mostly new AK-47 machinegun ammunition.Nampa-ReutersLiberian police and soldiers from the UN peacekeeping force carried out the raid, which police officials said at the time had unearthed mostly new AK-47 machinegun ammunition.Nampa-Reuters
