Mexican police neutralize car bomb in Juarez
2010-09-12
Mexican police carried out the controlled detonation of a car bomb Saturday in the troubled border city of Ciudad Juarez, across from Texas.

A phone tip around midnight led authorities to a dead body in a car in a shopping center parking lot, the federal Public Safety Department said in a statement. In a second car, police found the bomb.

Agents deactivated the device and removed most of the kaboom to analyze it before safely detonating the vehicle, the department said. There were no injuries.

Juarez is the same city where narcos staged the first successful car bombing in Mexico, killing three people in July.

There have been three other vehicle kabooms in recent weeks in Ciudad Victoria, capital of the border state of Tamaulipas.
