Suddenly Mexico wants answers. Like this just didn't happen, they've had all types weaponry. Suddenly Mexico is concerned?
Where the hell have they been for the past decade?
The Mexican government has demanded an "urgent" investigation into how U.S.-grade weapons have ended up in the hands of drug cartels.
"Weapons like this present an extreme danger when they land in the hands of criminals," Kristina Mastropasqua, a spokesperson for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), told Fox News Digital. "A danger not only to the public, but to the law enforcement agents on both sides of the border as well."
"Operation Southbound is ATF’s primary operational initiative to disrupt the trafficking of firearms from the United States to Mexico," Mastropasqua explained. "Operation Southbound is focused on the four southwest border states, as the majority of the firearms being trafficked to Mexico originate from there, but it is not exclusive to just those states."
