MercuryNews.com | 04/28/2005 | Indicted Chinese firm to equip Iraqi army: "The U.S. Army has approved the purchase of a more than $29 million worth of weapons for the new Iraqi army from a Chinese company that is under federal indictment in San Francisco in connection with the smuggling of 2,000 AK-47 automatic rifles through the Port of Oakland in 1996."
