MEXICO CITY — Mexican police say they have captured a drug gang member who allegedly helped set up a car bomb that killed three in the border city of Ciudad Juarez.

The Public Safety Department says Jose Contreras killed a man and dressed him with a police uniform to lure federal agents to the area where a car bomb exploded, killing a federal police officer and a doctor who was helping the shooting victim.

The department says in a statement Monday that Contreras is a member of the La Linea gang, which works for the Juarez drug cartel.

Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, has become one of the world’s most dangerous cities amid a turf war between the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels.
