Wanted Criminal Flew U.S. Supply Missions in Iraq

Intelligence officials have considered arms merchant and international trafficker Viktor Bout one of the greatest threats to U.S. interests, in the same league as al Qaeda kingpin Osama bin Laden. Interpol has issued a warrant for his arrest; the United Nations Security Council has restricted his travel." It seems that all of the world's most notorious have been on our payroll at one time or another.
