An improvised explosive device (IED) in a vehicle detonated outside the Televisa station in Mexico's Ciudad Victoria early Aug. 27. A similar IED detonated at roughly the same time 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 that they were meant to send a message, not cause mass casualties, and that there is possibly one bomb maker responsible for the IEDs that have been used in recent attacks in Ciudad Victoria.
