Via Reuters, Arms cache was actually scrap metal:

The supposed cache was discovered during a raid Sunday on an unfinished building in a town on the main road to Ivory Coast, fuelling [sic] speculation it was linked to an alleged scheme to smuggle weapons into the country.

Liberian police and soldiers from the U.N. peacekeeping force carried out the raid, which police officials said at the time had unearthed mostly new AK-47 machinegun [sic] ammunition.

"The fact of the matter is those items were just empty shells," Liberia's presidential press secretary Cyrus Badio told Reuters. "The person in question is a scrap dealer."

Also the photo accompanying the article has nothing whatsoever to do with the article.

All the big guns are already all over this one, but I have to link to it, too.


This alleged elderly Iraqi woman--because as far as I know, she could be Mildred McGillicutty from Queens, claims that these are two bullets "which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City."

What she is holding are two unfired, pristine and unused cartridges.  The bullet is the pointy part sticking out of the top end.

Yet another example of the media being so interested in propaganda and scare tactics that they publish something like this as "news."  This is not news.  This is a lie, and it's an obvious lie.

UPDATE:  Media Mythbusters reports that these cartridges have all the appearance of civilian ammunition, and not any type of ammo issued to the U.S. military.

I am always surprised--although I suppose I shouldn't be--at the simple, stupid mistakes made by the S.A. Express-News:

After realizing that his home had an intruder, a homeowner chased down a 19-year-old man and shot him to death on the Northwest Side early Saturday, according to a police report.

Raymond Lemes, 48, said he was asleep when he heard a scream.

Lemes grabbed his gun and realized an intruder, later identified as Tracy Glass, was in his home in the 9800 block of Autumn Star.

Glass took off and Lemes chased him down the street. When he caught up to the suspect, Lemes said Glass took a swing at him so he shot the man.

When police arrived at 2:35 a.m., they found Glass facedown, dead with gunshot wounds to the chest, neck and arm.

The homeowner had a license for his .40 caliber Glock pistol, a police report said.

He told police Glass probably had gained access to his home through a sliding door that had been broken for some time.

No, he did not have a license for his pistol, because there is no such thing.  He may have a CHL, but it is not a license to own a gun, and it is irrelevant in any case because this incident occurred (or started) in his own home.

The Express-News is worthless.  And their comics pages suck, too.
