Arthur, you need to sort out those Chinese. According to the Washington Times a "senior US official" said it continued to supply arms to al-Qaeda after Sep 11.

"The official said that a week after the terrorist attack, the ruling Taliban and the al Qaeda fighters embedded among them, received a shipment of Chinese-made SA-7 missiles. The shoulder-fired anti-aircraft weapons are similar to the U.S. Stinger."

Just because they were Chinese made, it does not mean that the Chinese supplied them.

In other words it was an arms dealer.

But it wasn't me.
