U.S. investigators are looking into accusations that a company hired by the U.S. military supplied corroded and decades-old Chinese ammunition to the Afghan Army and police. The U.S. government has suspended AEY Inc. of Miami, Florida for violating its contract, according to U.S. Army documents obtained by CNN. The Army and House Oversight Committee identified the president of AEY Inc. as Efraim E. Diveroli.

Under the contract, AEY said it would supply ammunition manufactured in Hungary. But an investigation by the Army found most of the bullets were made in China, a violation of the contract, according to the Army documents. U.S. regulations bar companies from purchasing weapons or ammunitio

NEW YORK The U.S. Justice Department approved the merger between satellite radio companies Sirius and XM Monday, more than a year after the two companies first announced their deal. In its decision, the Department of Justice had to determine whether an XM-Sirius merger was anti-competitive, or if other media companies such as Clear Channel ( CCU , Fortune 500 ), CBS ( CBS , Fortune 500 ), or even Apple ( AAPL , Fortune 500 ) with its iTunes software and iPod music player served as alternate options for music and media customers. The Federal Communications Commission must also approve the deal before it can officially be completed. The FCC has yet to make a decision on the deal. The merger would combine the nation's only two satellite radio companies and create a company with about 14 million subscribers. It would bring together Sirius' most well-known content, including Howard Stern and National Football League games with XM's Major League Baseball as well programming from

The center is known as a Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence Facility (SCIF) and access to the facility will only be granted to NYPD personnel with proper security clearances.

He told The Washington Post , "People have information, and they want to control information. Controlling information is power, and they don't want to let it go -- it is as fundamental as that." It took six years after Kelly's initial request in 2002 for the FBI to agree to share its information. At first, the Bureau was resistant to the idea because it didn'
