From the El Paso Times.com - By Alejandro Martínez-Cabrera - The U.S. trucker who was detained this week by Mexican authorities with 268,000 rounds of ammunition has been taken to Mexico City by federal investigators specializing in organized crime. Jabin Akeem Bogan, 27, was flown to Mexico City on Thursday morning by personnel of the organized crime special investigation unit of the Mexican Attorney General's Office, or PGR, said José Angel Torres Valadez, spokes man for the agency in the northern region.  The investigation will continue there, he said. Mexican federal prosecutors will press charges against the U.S. trucker who may have accidentally crossed into Juárez with 268,000 rounds of ammunition last week, a source familiar with the investigation said on Monday. The source, who requested not to be identified because he is not authorized to disclose the information, said Jabin Akeem Bogan, 27, will face charges for violation of provisions within Mexico's antigun laws.  The source said it was unclear under which provisions he would be charged, but it is possible he will be accused with possession of cartridges of exclusive use by the military.  Read more
