U.N.: U.S.-Based Companies Violated Arms Embargo Against Libya
--------------------------------------------------------------

United Nations investigators say dozens of companies, countries and
individuals have violated an arms embargo against Libya-including at
least two U.S.-based weapons companies. The U.S. companies-Turi Defense
Group and Dolarian Capital-are accused of brokering an arms deal to
Libya in 2011, after the U.N. Security Council's arms embargo took
effect. The U.N. report also accused countries including United Arab
Emirates, Egypt and Turkey of selling military equipment to various
warring factions inside Libya.
