US Army suspends company for selling Chinese ammunition
None
The US Army has suspended a company from doing any government contract work for reportedly providing Chinese-made ammunition to the Afghanistan army, in violation of its contract and U.S. law.
Documents obtained Thursday by The Associated Press say AEY, Inc., is under criminal investigation for reportedly claiming that the munitions were made in Hungary. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said some of the ammunition may not have been used because of concerns that it was not packaged well. In a letter Tuesday, the Army told company owner Efraim Diveroli that the investigation could lead to AEY being barred from any US government work. (AP)
