Police Wounded in Juárez Blast

[Alpha Mare]

An explosive blasted Mexican federal police and rescuers when it detonated as they went to the aid of a wounded police officer in Juárez on Thursday night.

Authorities said it had not been determined if the blast was caused by a grenade or a car bomb, but the attack appeared to follow the tactics of terrorists in the Middle East.

 First, a municipal police officer was shot and killed, and when federal police arrived to the scene there was an explosion, an official said. It was unclear how many were injured, but it appeared that at least one federal and one city police were killed.

God bless those cops in Mexico who are trying to keep the peace down there, raise families, all that.

I've gotta start praying for our neighbors to the south instead of just sighing and rolling my eyes.
