NZ army to remove Bible citations from armaments
None
New Zealand said Thursday that Biblical citations inscribed on US-manufactured weapon sights used by New Zealand's troops in Afghanistan will be removed, saying they are inappropriate and could stoke religious tensions.
The inscriptions on products from defense contractor Trijicon of Wixom, Michigan, came to light this week in the US where Army officials said Tuesday they would investigate whether the gun sights - also used by US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq - violate US procurement laws. (AP)
