When introducing GARCIA to MM 1337-S, BOSCH stated, “This is the professional electronics technician who manufactures the bombs." GARCIA then said to BOSCH, "ORLANDO, don't forget we need the relay. Place a call to ORLANDO MIRANDA.” BOSCH turned to MM 1337=S and said, “I need your address so that the relay can be sent to your _ address, for security reasons. ‘vg Uy) Subsequently, MM 1337s received the relay and it was subsequently turned over to BOSCH. x (wW. -3- DoclId: 3227687189 Page 4 Wrenn ei gp ei “se
