Bombs Rattle Mexico City

No one hurt, but triple blasts may signal spread of Oaxaca violence

MEXICO CITY – Three powerful bombs exploded early Monday at a bank, a political party's headquarters and a federal election court, raising fears that the kind of political violence that has been raging in the southern state of Oaxaca had arrived in the nation's capital.

No one was hurt in the three nearly simultaneous explosions, which occurred just after midnight. One bomb damaged a Canadian-owned Scotiabank Inverlat branch, another seriously damaged the entrance to an auditorium at the headquarters of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, and the third blew open a steel security door at the Federal Electoral Tribunal.

Dozens of houses and apartments near all three buildings had windows blown out and other minor damage, police said.

Officials described the unexploded bombs as consisting of about 10 pounds of ammonium nitrate and a gel-based explosive used in mining, with a digital watch used as a timer. They were placed inside gym bags.

Really this is a ****ing chaos. I never travel to south cause people in there are more mexican than the people in the north. They have 100% of mexican culture and people in the north like me have 99% of american culture and 01% of mexican culture.


Fear of terrorism far from home has caused record numbers of Americans to visit peaceful, nearby Mexico since the 9/11 attacks, but now drug-related violence and political upheaval are pushing them back, officials and analysts say.

The number of foreign tourists visiting Mexico the vast majority of them Americans has fallen by 4 percent this year, and several parts of the country have become subject to U.S. travel advisories similar to those issued for the violence-troubled U.S.-Mexico border.

On Monday, U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza elevated a travel warning for Oaxaca City, a center of cultural tourism, after the killing of an American on Friday and the intervention Sunday of federal police to end a five-month protest by teachers and leftist groups.

"U.S. citizens should avoid any travel to Oaxaca City, and if they must travel there, they should exercise extreme caution throughout the state of Oaxaca until the government of Mexico restores order to the area," Mr. Garza said in a prepared statement.

The slain American was cameraman Bradley Roland Will, 36, of the media organization Indynews. He was shot to death with two Mexicans. Protesters blamed police for shootings against them in recent months that have killed at least 12 people.

BETO, when you say 100% Mexican, do you mean like Aztec Indians? There are a bunch of Mexican Indians from Oaxaca that live in my area and work in the fields. They don't even speak Spanish, much less Engligh.

Hi Beto,
Sorry, this is way off topic. Just wanted to ask if you got a PS-3, and, if so, were you acosted or assaulted while buying it?

Also.... you want to go with me over to that North American Union website that Kate posted about, and have some fun over there? Maybe go over there and do a mock debate or something.

Heh, heh.
