More Guns Show Up from Botched Gun-Trafficking Operation Fast and Furious
Two weapons linked to the botched gun-trafficking Operation Fast and Furious were found at the scene of a deadly drug cartel gunfight last month, the Tribune Washington Bureau reports.
The guns – an AK-47 assault rifle and 5.7 mm pistol – illustrate that some of the 2,000 weapons lost under Operation Fast and Furious remain in the wrong hands and likely will be used in crimed, the Tribune reported.
The pistol was purchased by Supervisory Agent George Gillett, who was helping oversee the botched operation.
Feds are investigating. Gillett declined to comment.
