CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico — A powerful car bomb exploded outside the home of the top police official of the northern Mexico border state of Tamaulipas early Tuesday, killing two policemen and injuring four officers and three civilians.
Tamaulipas state Interior Secretary Morelos Canseco said Public Safety Secretary Rafael Lomeli wasn't injured in the blast, but that three neighbors were injured by glass fragments from shattered windows.
Canseco said the attack appears to be a reprisal by criminal gangs. Almost a half-dozen car-bomb attacks have occurred in recent years Tamaulipas, where the Gulf cartel is battling the rival Zetas gang, but it is the first bombing in the state to cause significant casualties.
"This attack is a response to the actions of the state and federal governments to improve and ensure public safety," Canseco said.
Canseco said one of the wounded officers is in very serious condition.

Probably the result of another Holder/Obama operation. Must have been from operation “Bomb Babe”.
An offshoot of the Gunwalkergate debacle?
Does it bother anyone else that the Mexico is becoming more like the Middle East in violence?
Is there a connection between the two?
What? Why this can’t be true. Everynight on television I’m barraged by commercials touting Tamaulipas as a wonderful place to visit for medical tourism-pristine beaches, 5 star accomodations, cutting edge plastic surgeons, dentists, and Opthamologists at prices you can’t imagine. /S
