Zafar; that doesn't sound like a Hispanic name. This case is now a bit curious along with having deported him from Mexico since this shooting happened about last Saturday or Friday.
American Charged With Attempted Murder of Diplomat in Mexico
An American citizen arrested in the shooting of a U.S. consular official in Mexico last week has been deported, the U.S. justice department said Tuesday.
Zia Zafar, 31, of Chino Hills, California, made his initial appearance Tuesday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, and was charged with one count of attempted murder of an internationally protected person.
A surveillance video posted to Facebook by the U.S. consulate shows Zafar waiting outside a parking garage before opening fire on a car Friday evening. He wounded 13-year foreign service officer Christopher Ashcraft, who was reported to be in stable condition in a Guadalajara, Mexico, hospital.

Early reports say the wounded official was known to have DEA connections (so one thinks "Cartels) but, FWIW, Conservative HQ writes:
What is more interesting, and has not been widely reported is that Zafar Zia, although of Indian heritage, is a Muslim.

Edit On:
See at Conservative HQ too, they seemed to talk about some "camp" down there, so who knows?
