WASHINGTON — The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has sufficient controls over its explosives but serious weaknesses in its controls over weapons, laptop computers and ammunition, according to an audit released Wednesday by the bureau's inspector general's office.
The audit found that 76 ATF weapons and 418 laptops were lost, stolen or missing over five years until 2007. The rate of loss per month for weapons has nearly tripled and risen dramatically for laptops since a 2002 audit by the Department of Treasury, which was then overseeing the ATF. More...
