AK-47s Bound for NY
Police seize Kalashnikovs from New York-bound ship
"Authorities in southern Italy seized about 7,500 Kalashnikov assault rifles and other combat-grade firearms from a ship headed for New York, officials said Tuesday."
There's a good story in the latest issue of Foreign Policy magazine about the global trade of Kalashnikovs, aka AK-47s. You can pick up one of these guns for $10 in some parts of the world. It's not online yet... otherwise I'd link you to it.
