Another 12 people wounded after seven IEDs detonated in attack by organized crime group in Jalisco state
Six police officers and prosecutors’ agents have been killed in a coordinated series of roadway bombs in western Mexico that officials said were an ambush set by a drug cartel, in the latest example of the brazen military challenge posed by organized crime groups in the country. Another 12 people were wounded in the attack late on Tuesday.
Jalisco’s state governor, Enrique Alfaro, said the trap in Tlajomulco, a city near the state capital, Guadalajara, was set when an anonymous caller gave a volunteer search group a fake tip-off about a supposed clandestine burial site.
