Re: St.Geldorf and St. Bono buy weapons for terrorists

We're reading a news report (not usually 100% accurate) about someone selling their book. We're making up the rest, helped by a badly worded report.

I've less than no time for Saint Geldof and his sanctimonious mate, but this article isn't really about them.

The report says the aid got diverted - this happens all the time and what generally happens is that warlords grab all the aid (in the form of food, etc) for their armies. Saves spending the money on weapons. Better still, if they have stolen enough of the food they can sell it to buy more weapons.
