Report: Grenades Used by Mexican Cartels Came From U.S.

New information released this week indicates the grenades used by Mexican drug cartels came from the United States.

This WikiLeaks cable says grenades used in Mexico’s drug war boil down to two origins: the United States and South Korea.

Three men threw a grenade into a Pharr bar in January 2009. At the time, all we knew was investigators were looking for men wearing dark clothing. This recently released WikiLeak cable says the men were drug cartel members targeting officers in the bar. Those weapons were made in South Korea.

Cartel members bombed the Televisa television station in Monterrey last year. The WikiLeaks cable says Mexican law enforcement recovered U.S.-made grenades there. Those grenades came from the El Salvadoran military in the early 1990s. The El Salvador government bought it from the U.S. government.

Other weapons described in the cable talk about grenade fragments thrown at the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey in 2008.
