Answer

In addition to drug trafficking, Noriega served as a conduit for illicit weapons. He smuggled weapons from the United States to the Contras, a rebel group in Nicaragua that was fighting against the communist Sandinista government. The United States supported the Contras, but the weapons that Noriega smuggled were illegal because they were not approved by the U.S. government.
