The Director Of The Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms And Explosives To Resign

The acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is expected to resign, reports CNN. Kenneth Melson has come under fire recently because of a mishandled weapons operation. Three ATF agents blew the whistle on the program, called "Fast and Furious." They told a Congressional committee hearing last week that ATF tracked the purchase of weapons and then let them "walk" across the U.S. border into Mexico. It was meant to follow weapons traffickers, but two of those weapons were used in the murder of border patrol agent Brian Terry last year. Melson may resign in the next day or two.
