The Army has suspended a Miami Beach company from government contract work for reportedly providing Chinese-made ammunition to the Afghanistan army, in violation of its contract and U.S. law. AEY Inc., a firm with just eight employees, is under criminal investigation for reportedly claiming that the munitions were made in Hungary. There have been ongoing complaints from the U.S. military in Afghanistan that the ammunition arrived there poorly packaged, including instances in which they found loose cartridges in brown paper bags.
