“I’m alarmed at the seeming http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4737 and border patrol and other U.S. agencies on our side.”

Dobbs: There is a serious and worsening http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=4603 against our border patrol agents is on the rise, and now drug smugglers, human smugglers setting booby-traps designed to maim or kill our agents. Casey Wian has the report.

Casey Wian: For the second time this year, the border patrol has uncovered a deadly booby trap apparently set by illegal aliens or drug smugglers. These pictures taken by agents Saturday evening 20 miles west of Columbus, New Mexico, show two wires stretched across a road along the border. According to the border patrol, the four and a half feet high wires had been pulled tight and set to a height as a means to clothesline agents or anyone riding on an all terrain vehicle or low profile conveyance. The agency says the road is used by drug traffickers and border patrol agents on ATV’s and horseback. The wires were strung at dusk, which helped conceal them.A local rancher discovered the booby trap before anyone was hurt. However, there were nearly 500 attacks against border patrol agents from October through March, 47 percent higher than during the same period a year earlier.
