Merchant of death arrested

International arms dealer Viktor Bout, who provided the inspiration for the movie Lord of War, has been arrested in Thailand. Bout is notorious for violating UN arms embargos and providing weapons to some of Africa's shittier dictatorships. Sadly, that isn't a crime, but he also sells weapons to terrorists, and as a result, the US is seeking his extradition. I guess they just don't like the competition...
