‘Fast and Furious’ Guns Linked To 11 More Crimes

Weapons from the failed federal operation “Fast and Furious” have reportedly been linked to 11 more violent crimes in the U.S., this including in places like Arizona and Texas where a total of 42 weapons were seized.

As early as January 2010, order guns tied to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosions were found at crime scenes in cities like Phoenix, Glendale and El Paso, the Los Angeles Times first reported.

The ATF program was designed to identify cartel leaders in Mexic by allowing for the illegal purchase of weapons and then tracking the firearms. The operation backfired when ATF lost track of the guns.

Under the program, 1,418 firearms were circulated though the number of disappeared guns is still unknown.-[source]
