Correspondent: Gun Traffic

Directed by Philip Wright

Correspondent: Gun Traffic highlights a worrying lack of control over arms dealing. The programme discovers a new twist: guns are now being made specifically for criminal groups around Europe, including Britain. The world's attention may be focused on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons in countries such as Iraq and North Korea. But gun trafficking is still growing and gun crime in Britain alone has doubled in the last 10 years. Are illegally traded guns the real weapons of mass destruction?
