Here is the latest status on the four GardaWorld security contractors that were detained by Afghan authorities for transporting weapons. If GardaWorld or any friends and family would like to speak about this incident, please feel free to do so in the comments. I would also suggest to contact Kimberley Motley in Afghanistan for any legal assistance if the company is looking for resources. –Matt
Britons charged over Afghan guns
January 31, 2012
Two British private security contractors arrested four weeks ago in Afghanistan on suspicion of smuggling AK-47 assault rifles have been charged by Afghan authorities.
Local police detained the men, named earlier this month as Julian Steele and James Davis, along with two Afghan colleagues in the capital Kabul on January 3.
Afghan officials said they were found to be transporting 30 AK-47s with their serial numbers scratched off and did not have the necessary firearms permits.
The international security firm all four men were working for, GardaWorld, confirmed on Tuesday that a charge sheet had been filed.
