Thousands of missiles seized by federal agents from a counter-terrorism school in New Mexico were licensed and had been obtained legally, an official of the school said on Monday. David Hudak — president of HEAT, or High Energy Access Tools, an antiterrorism and police-training services company — was arrested last week on federal explosives and immigration charges.

Agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms said they found 49 crates of armor-piercing missiles at the school, which had clients from Yemen and the United Arab Emirates, and believe there are about another 4,000 pounds of munitions on the premises. Frank Fish, HEAT's director of security, said Hudak's visa had expired but insisted his boss had come by the weapons legally. "The weapons that he had are licensed. We do have the paperwork for that," Fish said on CBS's "The Early Show." "I'm sure after the ATF have finished their look, they'll see that everything is in order." The weapons had come through customs legally from Canada and were on HEAT's inventory, which had been inspected by the ATF, Fish said.
