Mexico: IED Attacks in Ciudad Victoria

An improvised explosive device (IED) in a vehicle detonated outside the Televisa station in Mexico's Ciudad Victoria early Aug. 27, at about the same time a similar IED detonated near a Ciudad Victoria Municipal Transit Police Station. The devices used in the attacks are similar in size to a device used in another recent attack in Ciudad Victoria. Other details about the attacks indicate they were meant to send a message, not cause mass casualties, and there could be one bombmaker responsible for the IEDs.
