    Official: Gunmen shoot at US consulate in Mexico

    Official: Gunmen shoot at US consulate in Mexico

    By MARK WALSH
    Associated Press Writer

    MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) -- Assailants opened fire on the U.S. consulate in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey, a Mexican official said.

    Nobody was injured in Sunday's shooting. Shell casings were found outside the consulate, but there were no witnesses to the attack and no one was in custody, said a spokeswoman for the Attorney General's office who was not authorized to give her name.

    The spokeswoman had no further details.

    Mexican media reported that one man opened fire on the consulate and another man threw a grenade that failed to explode. El Universal newspaper, citing a U.S. Embassy statement, said the attack happened before dawn Sunday. The newspaper said the consulate planned to increase security.

    Embassy officials could not be reached for comment early Monday.

    Also Sunday, two grenades were thrown at the state Public Safety office in the western city of Guadalajara. Genaro Pacheco, the Public Safety spokesman, said the explosion injured two civilians outside the offices but guards inside were unharmed.

    The explosion shattered windows of the office, a furniture store across the street and an empty passenger bus.

    It was the second grenade attack against the Public Safety office in less than six months. The first attack killed a policeman and injured another in June. Four former soldiers were arrested in the June attack.

    Since this government can't to seem to keep its citizens under control, they should at least pay for the repairs.

    91 Killed In Tijuana Since Oct. 26th.

    91 Killed In Tijuana Since Oct. 26th.

    Gunmen kill 6 at party in northern Mexico

    CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) -- Gunmen killed six young men at a family party in the gang-plagued Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, prosecutors said Sunday.

    The men, ages 20 to 25, were killed during a party in a house, said Alejandro Pariente, a spokesman for the regional attorney general's office. The motive for the attack was unknown.

    At least 1,000 people have been killed this year in Ciudad Juarez, a city across from El Paso, Texas. Many of the deaths were attributed to warring drug gangs.

    In the border city of Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, federal police announced the arrest of seven reputed members of a cell of the Arellano Felix drug cartel, including a city police officer.

    The suspects holed up in a Tijuana house Saturday and opened fire on police, the Public Safety Department said in a news release. Local news media reported that neighboring homes were evacuated and police apparently used tear gas to flush out the gunmen.

    The officers seized 21 assault rifles, 4,000 rounds of ammunition and body armor in the raid.

    Authorities reported on Friday that 91 people have been killed throughout Tijuana in a wave of gangland homicides since Sept. 26.

    Isn't this an act of war? I guess that will depend upon who was responsible for these attacks. I would have to imagine it's either the drug cartels or millitary since grenades were involved! Why the hell are we not pulling all of our consulate personal out of mexico! Are we afraid of offending mexico once again! What a disgrace!

    Ok State Department! What more do you need in order to issue a "travel warning" to all Americans who may be contemplating travel to mexico! Does an American actually have to lose his/her life before you get off your ass and do what's necessary!

    They have issued the warnings, lots of them, it just seems nobody has paid any attention.

    No...They have issued "travel advisories," not warnings. There is a difference in the level of threat between the two...

    They can't issue an actual warning. I mean, we all know that all Mexicans are honest hard working people who only want a better life. Sheesh, don't your read the papers? To issue a warning might make people think that for our own safety and security we may have to do something crazy like protect our borders.
