The El Rukns is a violence-prone, highly structured
Rukns have also been known as the "Blackstone Rangers", and the
"Black p-Stone Nation". During their heyday, the El Rukns
ruthlessly controlled Chicago's southside illegal drug, gambling,
extortion and prostitution rings. .The El Rukns are also.
suspected of committing several hundred murders over the years in
order to control and dominate crime on Chicago's southside..
Subsequently, in early 1986, the.Chicago Office of the.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as the lead agency of an
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force including the Chicago
Police Department and Alcohol, Tobacco and 'Firearms (ATF),
initiated a series of court authorized wire intercepts at the.
gang's headquarters .in Chicago, Illinois, and Bastrop, Texas, to
investigate illegal activities of the El Rukns..
In late March of 1986, a series of conversations were.
intercepted that indicated that the El Rukns were involved in
negotiations with the government of Libya. At this point, the.
"Rukbom" investigation, Chicago file number 174-2034, was.
initiated by Chicago's Joint Terrorism Task Force. The
subsequent investigation revealed that several El Rukns were in
States in return for money. Through the use of an FBI Undercover
Agent (UcA), the El Rukns were sold two inert Light Anti-tank
Weapons (Law Rockets) in the early part of August, 1986. On
August 5, 1986, simultaneous searches were conducted at the
Chicago El Rukn Headquarters and a Chicago El Rukn safehouse.
The two Law Rockets sold to the El Rukns and 35 other weapons
were found in the basement of the Chicago safehouse.
