According to a GAO report, 80.000 out of 125.000 Glock Austrian made pistols given by the US to the Iraqi security forces are missing.
Many of them are now in the hands of militiamen, gangsters and criminals, in Iraq and all around the region (including thousands that are being used by a branch of the Turkish mafia).
I made this TV report in a police station of a Shiite neighbourghood of Baghdad. It was aired by Arte on the 20th of April 2008.
Enjoy your viewing.
