#5 Durrani, a former U.S. resident, was convicted in the United States in 1987 of selling missile parts to Iran and served five years in prison. He was deported from the United States in 1998 and apparently has lived in Mexico since then. It was unclear whether the current investigation was related to Durrani's prior conviction. I'd say no, he most likely has been up to his old tricks again. He had claimed to have acted as part of the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal, in which arms were sold to Iran to finance Nicaraguan rebels when the U.S. Congress had barred such aid. In 2003, Durrani petitioned a U.S. court to have his conviction overturned and asked to review more government documents to try to prove he sold the parts at the behest of former Lt. Col. Oliver North and other U.S. officials. |

#4 I believe FOX reported the two cops were guards at a baptism, which makes me wonder why they felt the need to have police there. Weddings are popular in terrorist circles as the families gain political and business advantages. I agree about Mexico not being our friend and I think there is more to the story here. Denver is a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants, just inviting trouble. |

#3 Ask Mexico about extraditing the cop-killer back to Denver. An illegal alien who shot 2 police officers, killing one -- 2 shots to the back of the head, left a widow and 2 kids. All because they wouldnt let his drunk ass into an ex girlfriend's wedding (and on top of it he is married and has a kid with someone else). Been hearing noises (Congressman Tancredo supposedly) that Mexico is saying they will decided *IF* they are going to extradite him in 1 to 3 YEARS. And in order to get that out of the Mexicans, they had to take the death penalty and life-without-parole off the table. Mexico is NOT our friend. This was likely just an accident on their part. |
