“Spokesman Carlos Diaz told The Associated Press the FBI has taken over the investigation.”
Is it normal protocol for the FBI to step in? In other situations we’ve seen that when the fbi takes over the investigation, it spells coverup.
Five other Mexicans in the Los Zetas cartel pleaded guilty earlier to federal charges in the shooting death of ICE Special Agent Jaime Zapata and the wounding of another agent in central Mexico during a roadside attack on their car by gunmen in San Luis Potosi, a central Mexican state. All seven were extradited to the U.S. on federal charges.
With todays guilty verdicts, a total of seven members of the violent Mexican drug cartel, Los Zetas, have now been brought to justice for the ruthless ambush that took the life of ICE Special Agent Jaime Zapata and that injured and could have killed ICE Special Agent Victor Avila, U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips of the District of Columbia said in a statement.
