More Allegations UN Armed Militias, Smuggled Gold and Ivory
Allegations continue that the UN has covered up claims that its troops in Democratic Republic of Congo gave arms to militias and smuggled gold and ivory. Based on confidential UN sources, it involve Pakistani and Indian troops working as peace keepers.
The UN investigated some of the claims in 2007, but said it could not substantiate claims of arms dealing, but UN insiders told the BBC's Panorama they had been prevented from pursuing their inquiries for political reasons.
