US official: Mexican car bomb likely used Tovex (AP)

July 19th, 2010

A police officer runs after an attack on police patrol trucks that killed two officers in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Thursday July 15, 2010. Mexican investigators ran forensic tests to determine whether drug gangs used a car bomb in an attack on police patrol trucks that killed two officers and wounded nine people on Thursday. A car bomb would mark an unprecedented escalation of Mexico's drug war and confirm long-standing fears that the cartels are turning to explosives in their fight against security forces. (AP Photo)AP - A drug gang that carried out the first successful car bombing against Mexican security forces likely used an industrial explosive that organized crime gangs in the past have stolen from private companies, a U.S. official said Monday.
