#2 Bombs Near Mexico City Police Building Leave One Dead
Two bombs exploded this afternoon near police headquarters in the heart of Mexico City, killing one person and injuring at least one more.

The bombs may be the work of drug traffickers or a small rebel group known as the EPR, said Jorge Chabat, a political science professor at the Center for Economic Research and Teaching in Mexico City. ... EPR bombed oil pipelines last year as part of an anti-government campaign.

Joel Ortega, head of Mexico City's security secretariat, said the man killed in the blast may have been carrying an explosive device when it detonated. (Oops) ... Ortega said that one of the bombs was homemade and probably detonated by a mobile phone, El Universal newspaper reported on its Web site.
