| The Mexican Army said it was a mistake. A leftist candidate for governor of Chihuahua is not so sure. Saturday morning a convoy for Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) candidate of governor Javier Duarte de Ocho of the Mexican state of Chihuahua arrived at the Chihuahua airport to pick up Ex- Secretary of Health, Jesus Kumate, who was Duarte's guest at an upcoming event. Kumate had been flown in from Mexico City to Chihuahua for the event. According to press reports the campaign vehicles arrived about 1015 hrs when the shots were fired and two vehicles were hit. No one was injured. At a press conference Duarte mentioned the attack: "We cannot allow that the democratic process of Chihuahua to be soiled with violent acts." Mexican military authorities said the shooting was an accidental discharge of a weapon, and was not directed at the PRI vehicles. |
