Milenio.com reports one unidentified person is dead.
At least three hand grenade attacks were launched against civilians shopping in downtown Reynosa, Tamaulipas Saturday killing one, wounding 22, two critically, according to Mexican press accounts.
The Mexican daily Milenio reported Saturday afternoon on a Reynosa city Twitter feed warned residents against going downtown, then two hours later reported the area was clear.
The Spanish language narco blog El Blog del Terror originally reported one bomb exploded at La Quebradita bar near the intersection of calles Colon and Juarez in the downtown area, while a second explosive device detonated near the intersection of calles Morelos and Canales.
Both attacks were less than a mile from the US border.
The first explosion on calles Colon and Juarez was apparently two hand grenades thrown by suspects from a van at about 1300 hrs, who were then pursued by local police. A military detachment intercepted the van on Bulevar Luis Donaldo Colosio, initiating a brief firefight. Despite the intervention by the military, the suspects managed to escape the cordon.
Police also found a Chevrolet Trailblazer with Texas plates left abandoned near the intersection of calles Matamoros and JB Chapa with its doors open and the engine running, although reports do not say how the vehicle may have been involved.
Eleven unidentified individuals were wounded in the first attack, including a child of three. Two adults are said to be gravely wounded. Twelve individuals were hurt in the second attack, including five children.
Intense gunfights and roadblocks between Mexican drug gangs, and the Mexican army and local police ended Thursday when the Mexican Army took over police checkpoints in an effort to control traffic in and out of Reynosa.
Reports from Reynosa now say the military abandoned those checkpoints only a day before the latest attacks.
