FULL TEXT BELOW:
An investigation has begun into how an automatic rifle disappeared from a Navy warship's arsenal.
The SA80 rifle disappeared from aboard the destroyer HMS York, based in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
The Navy's Special Investigation Branch (SIB) is carrying out the inquiry. Hampshire Constabulary has also been informed, a Navy spokesman said.
He added the weapon was found to be missing following a "stock check" but all the ammunition was accounted for.
"Most ships have a small arms store and often they do a check like a stock check," said the Navy spokesman.
"That is how it came to light that there is one rifle, an SA80, unaccounted for.
"They have searched the ship and Navy divers have searched around the area where HMS York is alongside." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
