#2 Reading comments on a Mexican blog last night it turns out that this car bomb wasn't the first to be used in Mexico.

Apparently in the 70s when there was a lowlevel civil war in Mexico, leftists used car bombs. It's not part of recorded history; Mexican press is much more free now than they were during the reign of the PRI during the 1970s.

#4 The nice thing about bombs, as it were, is that one needn't be there personally to execute the ...execution. (Sorry!) It's been the sign that the war is getting serious for about a century, I believe, whether between gangs or against the government. The anarchists were awfully fond of bombs, as I recall.
