The president of Mexico wants an apology and information from the United States regarding the Obama administration, gun-running program that put exotic weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
The plan was to trace the weapons to the cartels to bring charges. But the Obama administration operation lost track of most of the guns.
The Blaze reported President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wants to prevent the same thing from happening again.
"What seems serious to me is that a violation of our sovereignty was carried out, a secret operation, and that Mexicans were killed with these weapons," Obrador said Friday. "How could this be? A government that invades in this way, that flagrantly violates sovereignty, international laws. We have to shine light on this so that an action of this type will never be carried out again."

He said his government is sending a diplomatic note to bureaucrats in Washington demanding information.
The Blaze explained: "Operation Fast and Furious was a strategy created to assist the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to combat Mexican drug cartels. Between 2009 and 2011, the Phoenix Field Division of the ATF would allow and track the illegal sale of approximately 2,000 firearms worth roughly $1.5 million. The weapons from Operation Fast and Furious would end up being used to kill hundreds of Mexicans and at least one American, U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in 2010."
Obrador charged that people in the Central Intelligence Agency, the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration need to be investigated for potentially having cooperated with Genaro Garcia Luna, a former government official in Mexico who was arrested last year on drug trafficking and bribery counts.
