US Navy seizes massive shipment of weapons in Arabian Sea
A video released by the Navy onboard the USS Monterey showed a massive cache of arms seized from a stateless vessel in the Arabian Sea.
The US Navy has released a video of a massive cache of rifles, machine guns and anti-tank rockets seized aboard a boat in the Arabian Sea last week.
The USS Monterey halted a stateless dhow ship last Thursday before discovering dozens of Russian-made guided anti-tank missiles, thousands of Chinese-made AK-47-style rifles, as well as hundreds of machine guns, anti-materiel rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers (RPGs).
The crew of the dhow was released after questioning and the weapons were loaded onto the Monterey over a two-day period, the Navy said.
An investigation has not yet determined where the weapons were headed, nor where they came from, the US Fifth Fleet said in a statement on Saturday.
