Albania's Munitions Mountain

Assignment

Available for over a year

Albania's paranoid Cold War dictator stockpiled vast amounts of ammunition to threaten potential invaders. Today, the stocks are old and volatile, threatening Albanians themselves. Albania now wants to get rid of the ammunition - and quickly. It's even willing to give it away. Neal Razzell meets those trying to shift what the government calls "the heavy burden of the past."
