Report: Pentagon Failed to Track Weapons Sent to Afghanistan 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
The news comes as a new report has found the Pentagon failed to
adequately track hundreds of thousands of weapons sent to Afghanistan,
raising concerns they may be in the hands of militants. The report by
the U.S. special inspector general for Afghanistan found that in one
database, more than 200,000 weapons — or 43 percent — had
missing or duplicate information. It also found the United States
supplied far more weapons than Afghanistan requested or needed.
