A car bomb exploded near a television studio in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, according to Mexican new reports.

The Televisa Ciudad Victoria studio was damaged in the blast which took place a few minutes after midnight Friday. No one was reported hurt in the attack.

The second blast took place near the city Municipal Transit offices following a gun battle with unidentified armed suspects.

Televisa facilites have been attacked in Tamaulipas before, the latest of which was a hand grenade attack in the Televisa Nuevo Laredo studio and a grenade attack in Matamoros early this month which also caused damage but also hurt no one.

Damage in this latest attack was limited to the building's electrical service, which was not restored until 0700 hrs Friday.

Televisa studios in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon suffered a hand grenade attack and in Matamoros, Tamaulipas suffered a grenade attack from a grenade launcher earlier this month as well. A Televisa studio in Tepic, Nayarit was also attacked in May with a hand grenade. A Televisa studio in Torreon, Coahuila was attacked by an armed suspect who shot several times into the facility last June.

#3  Anyone wish to wager how long it will take our Lame Stream Media to properly label these events as Vehicular Borne Improvised Explosive Devices or (VBIED)?

At the moment Spanish language press is most comfortable with the term coche bomba.
