Oregon gunshop owner indicted as gun dealing probe takes international turn

Federal prosecutors investigating a Canadian man caught with a large cache of guns at a Blaine storage locker have indicted the man's partner in a McMinnville, Ore., gun shop, alleging the men conspired to deal high-end firearms.
The indictment filed last week shed little light on Oliver King, a would-be gun dealer now the subject of an international investigation. Writing the court, King's own attorney describes him as having had multiple contacts with the CIA, the Department of Defense and other national security agencies prior to his arrest.
Federal prosecutors in Seattle now contend King conspired with his business partner, Amir Zarandi, to illegally deal guns inside the United States. The indictment stops short of alleging anything beyond unlawful dealing of guns to others within the U.S. and, on King's part, making false statements to border guards during more than a dozen trips across the Canadian border.
