WASHINGTON, March 19 (UPI) -- U.S. agents caught their main target in the Operation Fast and Furious gun-tracking effort in 2010 and then let him go, government documents indicate.
Documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times show Manuel Fabian Celis-Acosta, suspected of having ties to a top Mexican drug cartel member, was stopped in Arizona with 74 rounds of ammunition and nine cellphones, the newspaper said Monday.
