AN attempt to arrest federal prison guards in a sex-for-contraband probe erupted in gunfire that killed a US Justice Department agent and one of the guards, the FBI said today.
Agents were trying to arrest six guards at the Federal Detention Centre in Tallahassee on charges including giving prisoners alcohol and other contraband in exchange for sex and money, an investigator said.
One of the indicted guards opened fire and was shot dead, FBI spokesman Jeff Westcott said.
An agent from the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General was also killed, he said.
Another prison worker was shot and taken to a hospital, but his condition was unknown, Mr Westcott said.
Prison spokeswoman Carla Wilson said no prisoners were involved and the facility had been secured.
The six guards were indicted yesterday on charges of conspiracy, bribery, witness tampering, mail fraud and interstate transportation in aid of racketeering, according to the US Attorney's office in Tallahassee.
"What this involves is the defendants using their official positions to obtain money from inmates in exchange for introducing contraband into the prison," said Michael Folmar, the FBI special agent in charge of the investigation.
The suspects had conspired for nearly three years to trade contraband for money and other payment, and would face 20 years in prison if convicted, the US Attorney's office said.
The shootout took place in the lobby of the detention centre in the Florida state capital, which holds men for short-term incarceration.
It is next to the Federal Correctional Institution, a long-term detention facility for women.
The indicted guards worked at both facilities, prison officials said.
The five surviving suspects were arrested and taken to court for initial appearances on the charges, the FBI said.
Sex and drugs for prisoners, obviously.
Sounds like a turd world country prison
How did the one guard get his own gun in the prison?
It's getting hard to tell which side of the bars the criminals are on.
What's that supposed to mean?
Whoever she is.......?
Russian Intelligence Analysts are reporting today that Counter-Coup forces within the United States Government were thwarted in their attempt to free from US Federal Prison custody the current Prisoner of War, and former Panamanian President Manual Noriega, and who has long been suspected as having been an integral part of the American CIA drug cartel.
Of the actual shootout itself we can read about as reported by the MSNBC News Service in their article titled "2 federal employees die in Fla. prison shooting",
and which says: "Two federal employees were shot to death Wednesday at a detention center and another was injured after a guard allegedly opened fire on FBI agents serving arrest warrants, the FBI said.
FBI agents and Justice Department investigators had gone to the center to serve warrants for the arrest of six guards when one of them shot a federal correctional institution officer, said FBI spokesman John Girgenti. The shootings occurred when the guard attempted to exit the building, Girgenti said. He declined to comment on whether the shooter was among the dead or injured."
These reports further state that the United States Homeland Security has appealed to a United States Federal District Court in their State of Florida to censor further information about this shootout between different American security forces.
From our Russian reports, however, it is stated that the POW Manual Noriega, and who was captured by United States Military Forces operating under the leadership of the first George Bush administration in 1990 after a short but violent war in Panama, was being held in a 'temporary capacity' awaiting a US judicial proceeding at a US Federal Prison facility named Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution. Upon the attempted removal from this US Federal Prison facility of the former Panamanian President the US Federal Guards escorting him were confronted by an Elite FBI Swat Unit, and upon their failure to obey the orders given to them a shootout ensued taking the lives of over 2 US agents. These reports further state that Manual Noriega was also hit by gunfire from this shootout and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he underwent surgery for his wounds.
This desperate attempt to free Manual Noriega, and again according to these reports, was due to a current investigation ongoing in the United States and pitting a US Federal Prosecutor named Patrick Fitzgerald, against what appears to be one of the largest drug cartels on earth and run by the American Central Intelligence Agency.
In Prosecutor Fitzgerald's latest attempt to confront this massive covert drug cartel he has gone after what FSB sources say was this cartels money launderer Lord Conrad Black, and whom the American Prosecutor Fitzgerald has recently fought to return to jail, and as we can read as reported by Canada's Globe and Mail News Service in their article titled "Angered U.S. prosecutors threaten to revoke Black's bail", and which says: "Prosecutors in Chicago allege that Conrad Black has misrepresented his personal fortune so much that they want a judge to force a sale of his $32-million (U.S.) Florida mansion to secure his bail. Otherwise, prosecutors say they will move to revoke Lord Black's bail, which could put him in jail."As it currently stands, defendant has failed to comply with numerous conditions of his current [bail] bond," Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, alleged in a court filing."
The much convoluted, and disturbing, connections between Lord Black, Manual Noriega, and the American CIA are well documented, and also too voluminous to go into in this report other than to note the following:
"Hollinger, a Chicago-based media company that owns the U.K.'s Telegraph Group, the Chicago Sun-Times and the Jerusalem Post, also invested $14 million in a British technology company that includes Mr. Perle and his business partner as shareholders. In addition, Hollinger gave $200,000 a year to the National Interest, a conservative publication that includes Mr. Perle, Mr. Kissinger and Hollinger's former chief executive, Conrad Black, as advisers."
"Robert Mueller was responsible for the prosecution of Gen. Manuel Noriega of Panama, who was the CIA's main money launderer for CIA operations in Panama. Even Congress knew of Noriega's CIA connections. Senator Kerry said that Noriega "had been on the payroll and an employee of the CIA for many, many, many years" Noriega was taken down by the CIA and prosecuted because he was found to be taking a much larger cut out of CIA drug profits than was agreed upon. During the trial, the presiding judge ruled that Noriega could not enter into evidence any documents proving his relationship to the CIA over the years.
Mueller helped cover up this major issue by silencing Noriega." This information is important to note because of the long standing crisis within the United States Government, since the 1970's, when the first George Bush was appointed by the Gerald Ford administration to be the head of the CIA, and upon his taking charge of that massive American...........

how did he get into the lobby with a gun? I work for corrections and we go through a metal machine in a sally port with a door into the sally port, then the machine, and then to where the admin area is. Again, how did he get a gun that far?
