Deadly drug cartel shootout with Mexico police linked to "grenade-walking" scandal
CBS ^ | October 17, 2013 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 10/17/2013 5:44:07 AM PDT by don-o

(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.

There is still (a little) honest journalism out there.

U mean like Adrian Peterson? Saw a hot babe reporter giving him a sympathy hug. He didn’t even know his son.

A random act of journalism.

Actually, Sharyl Attkisson has been very good on F & F as well as Benghazi. Credit where due, please.

GRENADES? How to blame this on US gun laws and gun dealers?

Ho Hum, same story, different copy right. And what will happen? Same story, same ending.

I wonder how barry’s raiders were going to work this into a second amendment violation. I just don't see how our current laws support the stockpiling of grenades to “right wing extremists”. Stay tuned though because these boys always make some outlandish assertions which are bought hook line and sinker by most of the loyal press and fellow travelers.

Quite random. Random as a stray round crossing back over the border from Reynosa. Memo to Sharyl Attkison: the story is not Mr. Kingery and his export business. It's the Oval Office, State Department, DHS, DOJ, and many key figures on both sides of the isle up on Capitol Hill. Much of what has happened in the last 12 months, indeed that last 12 hours, is becoming very clear.

Yes, Atkisson is reporting fact, while other people in the press have succumbed to Obama worship.

“Significant Incident Report” ...reminds me of Rainman and his “Serious Injury List”.

“Gun Show Loophole!

Wal Mart has a special on RPG’s this week.

Buy a gross of RPG”s at regular price, get a crate of grenades for half price.

Flamethrowers will be on sale next week.

Wal Mart will be having a sale on their halftracks with quad 50’s, but I don’t know when, and you are only limited to 1 at sale price.

It won’t matter when 0 gets his super majority in 2014. The Stupid party will see the lowest turnout for door knocking, calling, and contributions in history. I can picture how the campaigns will go.

“Why?”

There is little “honest journalism”. There are a handful of real journalists. Sharyl Attkisson is one of them.

Obvious answer! Piece by tiny piece.

In one week? In a foreign jurisdiction? Knowing how things are done in Mexico it is difficult to imagine forensic techs on their hands and knees with tweezers picking up frags, and even harder to imagine the entire mess being sorted and assembled from multiple devices and then ID'd and traced in time for a summary report.

My best guess is that they recovered unused ones left at the scene.

In the previous answer i was being a smart A but in my day all the parts were made of steel so I imagine a good magnet would gather all the pieces, then start sorting for serial number fragments. Possible to do? Maybe but not probable, IMO.
