Libyan civil war controversy

Discovery of Truvelo sniper rifles in Libya during the 2011 Libyan civil war caused considerable controversy, in parliament and in the press with various government officials making contradictory statements about the matter. The international NGO, Human Rights Watch discovered documents proving the sale in Tripoli;[6][7][8] 120 CMS 7.62×51 rifles were delivered in late 2010[9]
