Those Guns Look Familiar

Many soldiers in the main force of Haitian rebels attempting to overthrow
President Jean-Bertrand Aristide are armed with American M-1 and M-14
rifles given to Haiti in the 1980s. The turncoat militia — the Artibonite
Resistance Front, formerly known as Aristide's loyal Cannibal Army — is
hardly the first foreign military force to get its hands on a stockpile of
U.S. weapons.
