Weapons used during the rebellion against Qaddafi have been spirited out of Libya by agents of Qatar. The arms are smuggled through Turkey across the Syrian border. The guns transferred by Qatar are said to be going to fighters who are more extreme and Islamist than the rebels being supported by the Obama administration.
Take a listen to NPR’s four-minute interview with one of the New York Times journalists who reported on the story:
