Man Acquitted of Stockpiling Missiles in N.M. Sues Halliburton for Selling Them to Him

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A Canadian man acquitted last year of illegally stockpiling warheads at his counterterrorism training school is suing the Halliburton Co., claiming the defense company defrauded him by telling him he could legally buy the military explosives.

David Hudak's federal lawsuit, filed Oct. 13 in Albuquerque, also claims that Halliburton, its former Jet Research Center subsidiary and another military contractor, Tennessee-based Accurate Arms Co., sold thousands more of the warheads to others in similar transactions.

The companies should have paid to have the warheads destroyed, as required by their military contracts, the lawsuit contends.

In a statement, Houston-based Halliburton said the 10 years that have passed since the sale of the warheads make the case difficult to investigate.

4. indeed.

Messed up.. if they sold weapons like this its almost as if contractors have a need for underground weapons trade rings to keep things "hot" for business

5. "Halliburton, ...sold thousands more of the warheads to others in similar

transactions."

Sold to what others? Enquiring minds really want to know. Who the hell in this country is arming up with heavy weapons? This sounds like it reaches well beyond wingnut militias with illegally converted auto assault rifles.

During the balkan wars I kept reading about those unofficial militias armed with artillery, rockets and tanks.

Sure glad that can't happen here.
