EXCLUSIVE: Two guns sold to a Mexican cartel and used in the high-profile kidnapping and murder of a Mexican lawyer last year were purchased under the U.S. Justice Department's failed anti-gun trafficking program Operation Fast and Furious, sources tell Fox News.
U.S. law enforcement sources and officials in Washington told Fox News that two AK-47s were purchased in Arizona by a straw buyer - someone who legally buys guns, then illegal sells them to a third party - and were allowed to "walk" into Mexico . Police recovered the guns in the course of their investigation of the kidnapping of Mario Gonzalez Rodriguez.
