TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Crates of mortar shells sit unguarded and empty boxes for missiles to blow up tanks and bring down airplanes are strewn about arms depots around the Libyan capital.
Former rebels say they took some ammunition for the fight against Moammar Gadhafi, but U.S. officials and others have expressed fears Libya’s weapons could fall into the wrong hands.
The country’s new leaders have failed to secure many of the caches, making them free game for looters or former rebel fighters.
