Underworld hit suspected in failed attack on attorney
In San Antonio two men in a stolen van fired at assistant U.S. Attorney James Kerr from behind. Kerr, former head of a narcotics task force, dodged into his car and was not seriously injured. Officials call it an assassination attempt with contract overtones and beef up Kerr’s protection. The incident links to narcotics underworld concerns voiced by Rep. Henry B Gonzalez and DEA and FBI discussions continue.
