Tens of thousands of AK-47s handed out by Washington and Havana to allies in the region at the time were never retrieved. Today, those weapons fuel the region's high crime rate and narcotics trade as they are bartered for cocaine with Colombia's AUC and leftist guerrillas.
Shouldn't that be "handed out by Moscow and Havana"? I wasn't aware that the U.S. supplied AK47's.
