DocM Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Lovely....the gift that keeps on giving. http://m.nydailynews.com/news/national/garland-gunman-bought-gun-operation-fast-furious-article-1.2311893 Garland gunman bought gun through Operation Fast and Furious A gunman killed during his attack on an Islamic prophet Muhammad art show in Garland, Texas, reportedly bought a pistol through a botched federal firearm sting. Nadir Soofi bought a 9-mm pistol at a Phoenix gun shop in 2010, one report said, that sold illegal firearms through ATF’s heavily criticized Operation Fast and Furious to track firearms back to Mexican drug cartels. The Senate Homeland Security Committee wants to know if that same pistol was used five years later in an alleged Islamic State-sanctioned shootout targeting right-wing blogger Pamela Geller’s event, according to a memo obtained by the Los Angeles Times. The letter is addressed to U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch from Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson. Nadir Soofi, pictured, reportedly bought a gun through Operation Fast and Furious in 2010, and later was killed while attacking a conference hall in Garland, Texas. Both shooters, Soofi and his roommate, Elton Simpson, were armed with assault rifles and killed in the May 3 gunfight that ensued with Garland police. Since that attack, the FBI and DOJ has failed to produce serial numbers for the firearms used by Soofi and Simpson instilling the fear that the operation resulted in yet another instance of domestic violence, the LA Times reported. A week-long hold was also placed on Soofi’s gun purchase, but authorities lifted it after only a day, the Times added.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
