Report claims to have found 57 more guns tied to Operation 'Fast and Furious' Oct 1st 2012, 06:35 A new report by Spanish-language news network Univision claims more previously unreported weapons can be linked to the botched Operation  "Fast and the Furious," and that the U.S. supplied some of the weapons used in a massacre of young men in Mexico in 2009. The report aired on the channel Sunday night in Spanish and a partial transcript was translated by Fox News.  In the report, Univision identifies a total of 57 more previously unreported firearms that were bought by straw purchasers monitored by ATF during Operation "Fast and Furious," and then recovered in Mexico in sites related to murders, kidnappings and other actions by Mexican hit men and drug cartels. The report also reveals that the Obama administration may have indirectly played a role in the 2009 massacre, where 18 young men were killed at a rehabilitation center in the violent border city of Ciudad Juarez. The massacre was reportedly ordered and carried out by Mexican hit men. According to a Mexican army document obtained by Univision, three of the high caliber weapons used in the attack were linked to a gun tracing operation run by the ATF. The partial transcript obtained by Fox News did not specify whether this was Operation "Fast and Furious," or another similar ATF operation. The "Fast and Furious" program caught the attention of Congress and the rest of the country after weapons from "Fast and Furious" were found at the crime scene of murdered U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.  One Justice Department official resigned and another retired after an inspector general report on the probe faulted multiple agencies for letting it get out of hand. Another 14 officials were forwarded for possible disciplinary action.
