TV stations attacked across Mexican border

The Brownsville (TX) Herald reports that the local Televisa TV station across the border in Matamoros, Mexico was attacked with grenades Saturday night. A few hours later there was a similar attack at the Televisa station in Monterrey.

Witnesses told the Texas newspaper that at least two grenades were thrown from a moving vehicle and landed on the roof of a production area of the TV station in Matamoros. That attack occurred about 9:00 pm Saturday.

About four hours later, around 1:00 am Sunday, a single grenade was thrown in front of the TV station in Monterrey and exploded under a parked pickup. There were no reports of injuries in either attack.

According to the newspaper account, the grenade attacks are believed to be part of a violent struggle between two drug gangs over control of cities in Northern Mexico and drug routes into the US. By staging terrorist attacks on the territory of the opposing gang the attackers are openly challenging the other gang for control of the city.

This is a major story that hasn't received hardly any American media attention. Just like the recent car bombings in Juarez, this is another al Quaida style terrorist tactic. They even tried to have simultanious bombings in different locations like al Quaida.

This isnt even ONE gang fighting the Mexican Govt. This is TWO different gangs fighting eachother for the same area.

Mexico needs the death penalty and they need our 2nd amendment unfettered by state regs (open carry)
Only then will some semblence of order be restored...
