Mexican authorities have confirmed the discovery of an active improvised explosive device (IED) at one of the international bridges connecting the border cities of Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas–the headquarters of the ruthless cartel known as Los Zetas.
Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office issued a statement in regards to the recent discovery of the IED. The information released by Mexican authorities does not reveal the date that the bomb was left at the bridge, but confirmed that the explosive was active. The IED was left at the Las Americas International Bridge, also known as Bridge One. Neither the City of Laredo nor U.S. Customs and Border Protection has released any information in relation to the IED at the port of entry.
Mexican authorities de-activated the explosive device and removed it from the pedestrian lane of the bridge. While bomb threats are not unheard of at the various international bridges in Tamaulipas where cartels often flex their muscle; the discovery of an actual explosive device at the bridge is a first of its kind.

Los Zetas has revived the Culture of Death to its former glory....the cult practices cannibalism. If priests speak out the are usually tortured and killed. Two priests were found recently with their eyes gouged out. Every pope has spoken out about the cult....but has continued to grow for the last several years.
What good is it to the Cartels to blow up a bridge? I’m curious as to who and why.
There’s a pretty good chance that this is cartel vs. cartel.
They war with each other often.
The media took it and turned it into a BOMBSHELL.
Ahh ok, that makes sense.
Bill Ayers, Mexican style!
IED has Fewer letters than Bomb does.
Don’t they mean “land mine”?
