Interesting....and not a surprise.

Yep, seen 'em. This is just another news story to add to the list. In my current capacity, I work with the Mexican military and the officers I have talked to (including one that we put through the Mexican Training Initiative, or MTI, in 1996 as a captain) have been telling me that the guns they seize are mostly stlolen US made firearms that are leftovers from the Cold War and coming from Centreal America. I spent some time in El Sal towards the end of the war and can say that I have seen with my own eyes the massive amounts of weapons that they had that were going to be leftover after the FMLN signed the treaty.

Hell, in early 80s some of the weapons in El Sal were from Viet Nam.

Another batch were from Cuba.
