BEIRUT (AP) — Commercial brakes produced by a Dutch company to be used in ambulances in Turkey have instead ended up in missiles used by Turkey in attacks in northeastern Syria. That’s according to report released Tuesday by London-based research group Conflict Armament Research.

An analysis of the components of the wreckage has found that the missiles were manufactured by by Roketsan, a Turkish defense manufacturer.
