Bout is alleged to have fueled multiple conflicts across the globe through arms dealing, sometimes to both sides

..."a breathtaking arsenal of weapons — including hundreds of surface-to-air missiles, machine guns and sniper rifles — 10 million rounds of ammunition and five tons of plastic explosives."

And a partridge in a pear tree.
