MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s president on Friday urged the United States to shed light on a gun-running sting that caused bilateral friction under the Obama presidency, questioning the behavior of past U.S. administrations for the third time this week.
Setting out to stop cross-border gun smuggling, the U.S. scheme allowed people to illegally buy arms in the United States and take them to Mexico so that the weapons could be tracked and lead law enforcement officials to drug cartel bosses. Some weapons were later blamed for gangland slayings in Mexico.
Mexican politicians are still arguing over how much its government knew about ‘Fast and Furious’ at the time. Lopez Obrador has used the arrest of Garcia Luna to argue that corruption was rampant in past Mexican governments. Allies of Lopez Obrador reject this, saying instead that he is seeking to put pressure on Calderon, a critic of the president who is building a new political party.
On Monday, Lopez Obrador said U.S. officials at the Drug Enforcement Administration , the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation who cooperated with Garcia Luna should be investigated.
