A
newly declassified Pentagon audit has revealed that the U.S. Army has
failed to keep track of more than $1 billion worth of weapons and
military equipment, including tens of thousands of assault rifles and
hundreds of armored vehicles, in Iraq and Kuwait. Amnesty International,
who obtained the Pentagon report, said, "It makes for especially
sobering reading given the long history of leakage of U.S. arms to
multiple armed groups committing atrocities in Iraq, including the armed
group calling itself the Islamic State."
