From the aritcle, it said they were armored vehichles with GPS and gun mounts. That would be a cool Vespa.

It sounds like there was more to the story and it's getting worse:

"Fox News has learned, with raiders swiping hundreds of weapons"....."According to State Department and military sources, dozens of highly armored vehicles called GMV's, provided by the United States, are now missing. The vehicles feature GPS navigation as well as various sets of weapon mounts and can be outfitted with smoke-grenade launchers."

You would think that with all the publicity on Benghazi, security would not be so poor in Libya still.

I heard this story on the news yesterday and was disturbed. I didn't see it on the forum already. From the news story I heard, it sounds like we were paying locals for security and even after Benghazi, we still don't have it tight enough. Continued attacks and now we lost what sounds like some high tech weaponry that we didn't want in the BG's hands.

From the description of it, it didn't sound extremely sensitive but then again, I'm no expert. There was concern expressed that the night vision stuff taken was a real game changer for us.
