Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

On June 18, 2004, Commercial Officer Mary O'Brien spoke with Jack McGuinness of the Office of the Chief of Staff of the UAE Armed Forces, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed is the son of Sheikh Zayed al Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates. In addition to Sheikh Mohammed's leadership of the UAE military, he is also the Deputy Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. 2. Mr. McGuinness confirmed that the weapons described in this license application were ordered by and for the Office of the Chief of Staff. Mr. McGuinness said that Sheikh Mohammed is aware of the restrictions on the transfer of these weapons and reported that these conditions will be strictly observed. (Comment: Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed is an avid hunter and it is possible that some of these items are for his personal use rather than used in his position as Chief of Staff.) 3. Mr. McGuinness also reported that the applicant in this case, Shoot Straight Pawn and Auction Co., is known to him personally and that the applicant has sent shipments of firearms to the UAE every couple of months over the last five years.
