| #7 Oh, and I was incorrect about the country being all one time zone. Sorry! (And I'm wondering, maybe there needs to be a master backgrounder page re: the whole Mexico thing?) |

| #2 Tamaulipas is in the Cdentral Times zone, and I dunno how to explain the difference, All the news services are saying the riot began at. Mexican news services said the riot began at 1700 hrs. Changing to the corrected time of 0500 hrs. |
