Spanish police have arrested three people in Seville province over alleged trafficking in weapons of war, seizing a working AK-47 assault rifle and an M80 anti-tank rocket launcher that investigators said were destined for criminal organisations linked to drug trafficking. According to an official statement cited by Euronews, the investigation began last June; during surveillance two suspects fled and discarded a bag containing a 7.62-millimetre calibre AK-47 and a 64-millimetre calibre M80 launcher, and the three detainees were linked to an operation that included four house searches.
