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

HeadlineMar 11, 2016

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.
