Published on Dec 7, 2012 : Qatar handed out weapons in Libya like candy -- according to a Wednesday New York Times report -- which adds that the US not only knew about the ploy -- but blessed it with a stamp of approval.
Many of those weapons found their way into the wrong hands - however -- and according to the report -- the "United States has growing concerns that, just as in Libya, the Qataris are equipping some of the wrong militants."
Qatar is currently -- and admittedly -- arming militant groups in Syria as well -- a ploy that United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has frowned upon.
