SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Wednesday it is about to begin testing a Spanish-language version of eTrace, the computer system that helps law enforcement agencies trace who buys U.S. firearms.

National police in Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica will be the first to try the new system, USA Today said.

The ATF is trying to stop buyers who funnel weapons to drug cartels but many police officers south of the border do not speak English, Scot Thomasson, an agency spokesman, said.
