Now, The Rest Of The Story… by Dennis & Ann Bossack February 17, 2004 Below is an article from The Deming Headlight, Thursday, February 12, 2004, about an incident that took place Tuesday, February 10, 2004, in Palomas, Mexico. Palomas is a town in Mexico that borders Columbus, New Mexico. ED NOTE: The story we received from witnesses varies slightly from the reported story in the Headlight. The version we got follows the Deming Headlight article. Palomas police station destroyed by gunfire By Kevin Buey Feb 12, 2004, 01:17 pm Deming Headlight http://www.demingheadlight.com/artman/publish/thursday/article_1617.shtml A late-night attack Tuesday on the office of Palomas Police sent officers scampering for safety. "Apparently," Columbus Police Chief Clare May said, Wednesday, "at about 10:30 at night, U.S. customs officers heard a series of about 25 gunshots and another series of about 45 gunshots, then a shotgun blast or two and eight former municipal officers made their way across the border. "I was told their office was attacked by members of a drug-trafficking family." May said the attack resulted in destruction of the police office, a computer and a municipal car. May and Roger Maier, the latter a public information officer with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in El Paso, said the wife of one officer and a child also sought safety in Columbus. The child is a U.S. citizen. "When they arrived at the port of entry," Maier said of Palomas officers, "they didn't have any weapons. They had apparently abandoned their weapons in Mexico. Some were in uniform, some weren't. "None of them had the appropriate entry documents to enter the United States. The first thing we had to do was handle them as undocumented people applying for entry. Once that was resolved, a number of members of the group requested political asylum." Given the limited size of the Columbus port staff, Maier said, the immigrants were taken to El Paso, to a larger, 24-hour-a-day facility. Four of the eight officers decided not to seek asylum, a record of their arrival and departure was made and they returned to Mexico. Of the remaining six, five requested asylum. The child, as a citizen, needs no processing. "What happens next," Maier says, "is the closest asylum office is in Houston, so one of their officers will have to come out here and, basically, talk to the individuals and get the process going. After that, their will be a hearing before a judge and a determination made. "We're very much in the introductory steps. No one has arrived from Houston just yet." The Palomas officers are being housed by customs. "Because there was a minor child involved," says Maier, "the mother was paroled into the country, given temporary status. She'll have to return here for a hearing." Maier said local agencies — Columbus Police, U.S. Border Patrol, Luna County Sheriff's Office — provided staffing for the port while the matter was handled. "Tremendous law enforcement support," Maier said. "We had a lot of people arrive. That was important, a wide variety of local law enforcement." continued in column two... |

continued from column one... On the night of Tuesday, February 10, 2004, approximately, 10:30pm, MST, the Palomas Police Station and the military headquarters were attacked and destroyed by unknown assailants. Eight (8) Palomas policemen were shot. Our source told us that eight (8) helicopters landed just south of the town of Palomas. Each helicopter was carrying approximately ten (10) to twelve (12) armed men. These men were armed with Uzis, AK-47s and M-16s. The assailants attacked the Palomas Police Department and the Federali Military Headquarters (military police). During the attack, the Palomas police and the Mexican Federal Police ran across the border for protection on the US side in Columbus, NM. The attackers also crossed the border and continued the attack. The US agents responsible for protecting the border in Columbus, NM, (US Customs, US Border Patrol), abandoned their border posts and ran along with the fleeing Palomas Police and Mexican Federal Police toward Deming, NM, thirty (30) miles to the north. At least one helicopter and several vehicles (which had crossed the border), chased the fleeing agents for several miles; the helicopter(s) and vehicles continued firing upon the fleeing agents. OUR QUESTION IS: WHO AND WHAT CROSSED THE BORDER WHILE IT WAS UNMANNED? This would be a perfect setup to smuggle suitcase nukes and/or biological and/or chemical weapons into the US. While the assailants are chasing the running agents and the border is unprotected, a vehicle or two (or more) could have easily slipped over the border and disappeared into the night. I know I've said that our border here in the desert is unprotected making it easy for smugglers to cross. This is true. But I ask you, would you want to drive a vehicle with a suitcase nuke in it through the rough desert? Or chemical or biological weapons? Staying to paved roads would be safer and would allow the drivers to move more quickly than would driving through the desert on unpaved roads...or no roads at all. Whatever was smuggled into the United States that night is more than likely now in place.
