The Interior Ministry said thieves broke into a warehouse and stole a
huge amount of firearms and ammunition. The ministry said 20,000 U.S.-origin M-16 assault rifles and 15,000 rounds for 9mm pistols were stolen.

“There were no guards during the break-in,” the ministry said on April 7.

"Holy s***!" is my verbatim reaction upon reading this.

EDIT:

Nevermind.

20,000 M-16 rifle rounds stolen from MoI warehouse

Not 20,000 rifles. Jesus.

That's what I get for not checking multiple sources.

OK, well, don't blame me for making a duplicate thread when the author of the first thread makes the thread title with obscure language in ARABIC! Had the thread been clearly labeled, I wouldn't have started a new one. I did infact, look around first before saying anything.
