State Department ‘Blissfully Silent’ on Murder Probe

Blissfully Silent !

"We followed up yesterday to see when they were going to respond and they could not respond to our response,"


Absolute Bullshit, Hillary can go bopping around the world helping out other countries with their own screwed up mess, But she can't take a minute to help out an American Citizen.

If The U.S. Government don't want the Border secured Our Way then they better get off their lazy over payed fat ass's and do something about it .

The State Department has not delivered diplomatic assistance to the widow of a man shot down by drug lords while on a jet ski trip on the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. Rep. Ted Poe said Wednesday.

Poe, R-Texas, whose district contains the U.S. side of border-straddling Falcon Lake, said Tiffany Hartley did not even receive help from the U.S. consulate in Mexico to file a complaint against members of the Zeta drug cartel that is suspected of shooting David Hartley while the couple was skiing through the Mexican side of the border weeks ago.

"There seems to be inefficiency on this issue. She shouldn't have to be filing charges" on her own, Poe said, noting that the Mexican authorities were slow to help Hartley in part because they said she made no official complaint to the proper authorities.

The State Department has also been "blissfully silent" on efforts to convince the Mexican authorities to let U.S. investigators help search for Hartley's body, Poe told FoxNews.com. The department must convince Mexican officials to let the FBI and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency investigators help conduct the search for Hartley's body and for the culprits, he said.

The Mayhem continues .


BBC
The US has closed indefinitely its consulate in Ciudad Juarez, the Mexican city worst affected by the drugs war being fought by rival gangs.

A statement from the US embassy in Mexico City said the consulate would remain shut until a security review is completed.

In 2009, more than 2,600 people died in drug-related violence in Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas.

A US official said the consulate had closed following a "credible threat".

A statement on the consulate's website advised American citizens to avoid the area around the building.

The consulate is the only place handling applications for US residency from Mexican citizens.

Chile nabs Pakistani with trace explosive at U.S. embassy

I guess Pakistanis are just infatuated with Bombs , so many of them have links to Some kind of Bomb Stuff whether it be a suicide vest / Belt , or an IED , They Have their hands all up In it !



(Reuters) - A Chilean judge ordered a Pakistani man be held under an anti-terrorism law on Tuesday after he was arrested in the U.S. embassy in Chile with traces of explosive on him.

The man identified as Muhammad Saif-ur-Rehman Khan by the U.S. State Department was arrested on Monday at the embassy in Santiago where his visa for the United States was revoked.

A senior State Department official said Khan, a 28-year-old student who had been in Chile for four months, was invited to the embassy to be told that his U.S. visa was being revoked.

The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he was not aware of any link between Khan and the Pakistani-American accused of trying to bomb New York's Times Square on May 1. He declined to say why the visa was revoked.

"This man was in possession of a (U.S.) visa. Based on the information that we had, we revoked his visa. We are required to notify individuals when we take that action and we invited him in," the official said.

During routine visitor screening at the embassy, Khan was found to have traces of explosives on his clothes and was later detained by Chilean police, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said at his daily briefing in Washington.

Asked if there was a legitimate reason why the man might have been exposed to explosives -- such as working at a site where detonations occur -- Crowley replied: "We'll see."

"At this point ... we don't think that this was a spurious hit on our detection system," Crowley said.

A Chilean state prosecutor invoked Chile's anti-terrorism law to prolong Khan's detention while he is being investigated, and a judge gave a five-day extension.
