4:03 pm
propaganda real from isis showed in their position 82 millimeter mortar shells which the reporter was able to identify for 18 read the numbers the side put as production growth for manufactured in 2018 k.v. stands for the arms factory the for value of a place in serbia where the arms factory is and thanks to those leaked documents it appears the us military purchased a lot for from crusade military factory last year then it was a matter of following the paper trail how those shells were brought transported mog for the afghan army and ended up with isis in yemen report the discovered all this is certain in her findings. or at least then where. are the claims you've made
4:04 pm
damaging of course if true for the us government based on these documents that you got hold of how hard was it to get them and how certain are you that they are genuine. i love that i am right in the beginning. i don't know that people. were all sent. where or was but i'm very thankful them because. they are the. in the sitting government. and on the label. this there is the name of the company or their government or birth of the weapon on behalf of the arm and there you go for the shipping of that so it's not.
4:05 pm

4:06 pm
and minded the just isis that we've seen in possession of munitions made in but also. the way in syria various other jihad scoops remarkable coincidence for them to accidentally stumbled upon all of these weapons reportedly paid for by u.s. taxpayers now we've sent many many requests for comment to the pentagon to its contractors involved in all of this the airlines the basis but so far nothing. panic and critical yet to give us a comment on the allegations former u.k. army officer charles to bridge gave us his insight from how weapons have nap in the hands of terrorists. people such as myself and not just me many people since 2011 and before when this was being muted as we can supply we were told to moderate rebels as they were caught in either libya or syria with weaponry that would help
4:07 pm
overthrow gadhafi or for example assad it was obvious to those of us who've got really any military backgrounds and told that it would be impossible to control where those weapons would end up and indeed much research a lot of it by academics and so on has proved this to be the case again and again are that moderate rebels so-called selling or handing over these weapons to these groups all of these groups can capture them in the field if they have battles or disputes themselves of course it could have been and i don't think this is necessarily the stuff of conspiracy theories it could have been so obvious of course that this would happen that it would end the weapons would end up in the hands of these extremist groups that that was the intention right from the start these are all possibilities and. this week south africa's biggest city johannesburg so far known to business and looted amid a wave of then a 5 big tensions across the country on monday the country's police minister described the situation as a national emergency honestly reports from a city where foreigners say they're increasingly living in fear. you mean shifty in

4:14 pm
