| 2010-08-06 |
| Google Translate from a variety of Mexican web sources. For a map, click here A car bomb exploded in a back parking lot of the Tamaulipas state Secretaria de Seguridad Publica (SSP) headquarters in the offices of the Rural Police in Ciudad Victoria early Thursday evening, according to Mexican press reports. The detonation, which was first reported by Twitter users at 1800 hrs, took place at about 1720 hrs. The vehicle used was a Nissan Tsuru. The explosion damaged two official vehicles parked on either side but caused no injuries. The attack is the sixth on police forces in northern Mexico since Sunday night. Five small arms and hand grenade attacks have been made against Mexican Federal agents in Juarez which killed in total one agents and wounded six others including one civilian female. The bomb is also the second car bomb since the July 16th car bomb in Juarez, Chihuahua. One Mexican Federal agent and three civilians were killed in that blast. |

| #6 Rural Police Are we sure this wasn't an attempt to make cuts in the Bribe Budget(c)? Or a warning that once bought, stay bought? |

| #5 I think that when you're involved in a criminal enterprise the idea is to make money which you will never get to enjoy if you get yourself killed in the process. Not that I condone what these narco terrorists are doing. It's just that I find their particular type of evil a little easier to understand. |

| #3 At least the Mexicans have better sense than to strap on boom vests. |

| #2 whether Oogo or Short Round has closer ties If they specialize in heroin, then Shorty. If coke, then Lumpy. |

| #1 Sounds more like the ME all the time. Be interesting to see whether Oogo or Short Round has closer ties with the cartels. |
