From the CNN Full story:

****************************************ECXCERPT***************************************

The U.S. vehicle was attacked on a highway between Mexico City and Cuernavaca, near the town of Tres Marias.

Raises a question.....

What was the Diplomatic mission regarding?

They were out of the CIty....thus enemy territory.....were they armed?

"diplomatic mission."
Seems that is out of the AOR of Marines. Perhaps they where attached to some SOPS group given special assignment. As you correctly informed another Freeper, Marines are attached to Embassy Guard. But to go out on some hair brained diplo mission?
