Iraqis profit from Syrian arms smuggling

Iraqis profit from Syrian arms smuggling

In this Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012 photo, Iraqi smuggler Younis al-Lehaibi, 46, hides dismantled parts of an AK-47 machine-gun in cigarette cartons at his house in Mosul, 225 miles (360 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad, Iraq. To be successfully smuggled into Syria, the rifles are taken apart and hidden in cigarette cartons and kerosene tanks. Younis al-Lehaibi and his sons divide them into their trucks and head out to the vast, dusty border. (AP Photo)
