(CBS News) CBS News has learned of a shocking link between a deadly drug cartel shootout with Mexican police last week and a controversial case in the U.S. The link is one of the grenades used in the violent fight, which killed three policemen and four cartel members and was captured on video by residents in the area.

According to a Justice Department "Significant Incident Report" filed Tuesday and obtained by CBS News, evidence connects one of the grenades to Jean Baptiste Kingery, an alleged firearms trafficker U.S. officials allowed to operate for years without arresting despite significant evidence that he was moving massive amounts of grenade parts and ammunition to Mexico's ruthless drug cartels.

Of course it’s phony. No Americans were hurt, only Mexicans, and it didn’t happen on TV. So who cares, unless you want a taco?/s

Hillary and Holder were in cahoots on all of this. Holder was letting guns and explosives walk to Mexico so Hillary could take the bully pulpit and demand additional gun control. The only problem is they got caught red-handed and now Hillary has clammed up completely on the issue. Manufacturing evidence consisting of dead bodies is a very ugly business and indicative of the depth to which these people will sink to move closer to their goals.

Can't speak to the 'nade issue, but do-it-yourself claymores are really easy.

Not that I know from personal experience, mind you! ....Just from what I've heard.
