A car bomb exploded in a municipality northeast of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon Friday afternoon wounding two civilians and causing damage, according to Mexican news reports.

The bomb detonated at police headquarters of Zuazua, Nuevo Leon at about 1300 hrs. Zuazua is about 15 kilometers northeast of Monterry and is a farming community.

No one was reported killed in the explosion. Two unidentified civilians were injured. The explosion also damaged two police patrol vehicles and a motorcycle.

The explosion also knocked out electrical power in the area briefly.

Officials did not call the attack narcoterrorism, but reports make it clear the attack was intended to intimidate security forces.

The scene is currently under guard by Grupo de Reaccion Inmediata and Policía Rural forces.

Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas experienced two car bombs late last August one against a police headquarters and one against a Televisa television studio building. No one was reported hurt in those blasts.

#2  Some suspect they are being trained in the Tri Border area then sent on their specific "duty".
I would agree.
