\nIn 2005, the National Iranian Police Organization placed an order for 800 Steyr HS.50s worth more than $15.5 million (nearly $20,000 per rifle). Ostensibly, the rifles were intended for use in interdicting drug smugglers. The U.S. and U.K. governments both protested the shipment in 2006, fearing the rifles would fall into the hands of Iraqi militias. A month and a half after the initial shipment, the first U.S. soldier was killed with one of these Steyr rifles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nCes fusils valent 20.000$ \u00e0 l’unit\u00e9, ce ne sont pas des kalashnikovs usag\u00e9es ou des rebus de l’arm\u00e9e autrichienne. Ce sont des armes neuves, r\u00e9centes, extr\u00eamement pr\u00e9cises. Et toutes identifi\u00e9es de mani\u00e8re unique. Vous vous doutez qu’\u00e0 20.000 dollars pi\u00e8ce, on a pas envie de les \u00e9garer ces fusils. Et pourtant, ces fusils sit\u00f4t achet\u00e9s ont travers\u00e9 la fronti\u00e8re iranienne pour se retrouver en Iraq. Vous voudriez me faire croire que c’est de la contrebande ? Qu’ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 vol\u00e9s et revendus ? Que c’\u00e9tait une erreur de la poste ? Que c’\u00e9tait des \u00ab\u00a0\u00e9l\u00e9ments incontr\u00f4l\u00e9s\u00a0\u00bb de l’arm\u00e9e iranienne qui montent leurs propres op\u00e9rations en Iraq ?
