ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Hundreds of rounds of automatic-weapons fire rained down on South Texas sheriff's deputies and Border Patrol agents from the Mexican side of the border as they investigated a horror story told by two American brothers who fled across the Rio Grande fearing for their lives.
Several Hidalgo County deputies and at least four Border patrol agents were met with a sustained hail of gunfire alternating from the south to the east and lasting nearly 10 minutes, the officers said.
Yet, not a single shot was returned by the deputies or the Border Patrol officers last Wednesday night because they were outmanned and outgunned – a condition increasingly common along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border, say law enforcement officials.
"This is one of the reasons that I do not allow my deputies to patrol the riverbanks or levies close to the river," explained Sheriff Lupe Treviño, "because we do know there are drug gangs and human trafficking gangs that will not hesitate to shoot in our direction to get us out of the area.""

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said extremist groups in the Middle East and the countries that support them, specifying Iran and Syria, have no future.
"Obviously, Iran is involved," Miss Rice said during an appearance on ABC's "This Week." "Iran is financing Hezbollah. Iran is providing technology. Syria is harboring Hezbollah and the radical elements of Hamas in Damascus."
In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Miss Rice also said there soon would be "no room" for terror-backing regimes in the Middle East. "
