I found several references online to Bin Laden carrying the AK-'''74''', and to the this weapon being referred to as a "Kalikov" (Not a "Kalashnikov", which seems to refer specifically to the AK-'''47'''). If someone wants to put this back in as an error, then I think they need to cite their source.--[[User:Cheakamus|Cheakamus]] ([[User talk:Cheakamus|talk]]) 17:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC) |

changes to 'minor mistakes'
I deleted the following entry in the 'minor mistakes' section, since it was unclear/uncited:
- The gun carried by Bin Laden is repeatedly described as a "Kalikov" AK-74 instead of a "Kalashnikov"
I found several references online to Bin Laden carrying the AK-74, and to the this weapon being referred to as a "Kalikov" (Not a "Kalashnikov", which seems to refer specifically to the AK-47). If someone wants to put this back in as an error, then I think they need to cite their source.--Cheakamus (talk) 17:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
