A truck driver hauling wooden crates from an arms plant in Russia's Ural Mountains to a landfill stopped at a village to make some extra cash by selling the containers as firewood. The guy who bought them found 79 Kalashnikov rifles, 250 cases of ammo, and assorted other gun parts inside. Apparently, the rifles had been sent from the Defense Ministry to the plant for disposal or recycling. From the Associated Press:
The report said the villager turned over the arsenal to local police, who say they are now checking the grounds of the Izhmash factory — which makes Kalashnikovs and other weapons — for compliance with safety standards.
