More stolen U.S. military equipment sold on eBay

Published April 15th, 2008


Highly-sensitive US military equipment, including biological protective uniforms and fighter jet parts, have been sold through internet auction site eBay.com.

Congressional investigators in the United States bought dozens of items from the US version of eBay and another sales site, Craigslist, between January and March of this year, with “no questions asked”.

“Many of the sensitive items we purchased could have been used directly against our troops and allies, or reverse engineered to develop counter measures or equivalent technologies,” investigators said in a report to Congress.
