Stinger Sting
Dateline NBC used undercover footage to expose arms brokers trying to buy Stinger missiles and other weapons here in the United States. Supposedly, these brokers have ties to Osama bin Laden, and can be heard referring to Americans as "the enemy". The idea for this story came from a previous Dateline NBC investigation ("Trail of Terror"), which "exposed the activities of arms brokers and other alleged terror supporters operating in the United States."
