Law agencies debate drug arms link across Mexico border
A Senate subcommittee hearing on illicit drug flows from Mexico to the United States and the parallel return of weapons exposed disagreements among agencies. ATF chief Rex Davis cited hard evidence of links to terrorist groups, while Customs head Bo Verso Acree called gun trafficking isolated. DEA director Peter Bensinger said a pervasive tie exists, with about 75 percent of major arms smuggling tied to drug traffic. Witnesses included Michael Williams and Lt. Booth Shaw, testimony highlighted interagency friction and gaps in information from Mexican authorities, and calls for improved coordination.
