Grenade attacks throughout Tamaulipas; shootouts reported

One of the most violent days recently in northern Tamaulipas took place Tuesday as one large firefight broke out in Matamoros, another firefight took place in Rio Bravo, and various grenade attacks occurred in Reynosa, Ciudad Victoria and Rio Bravo.

In Matamoros, fighting broke out about 5 p.m. near the intersection of Cuauht�moc Avenue and Calle Doce. Soon after, another fight broke out along Calle Sexta near the intersection with Canales Avenue. The fighting soon moved to the San Francisco neighborhood, where it reportedly lasted close to 30 minutes. The fighting allegedly took place between two groups of gunmen with Mexican authorities arriving shortly after to make it a three-way fight.

As the fighting continued, gunmen set up road blocks along the city�s main streets to interfere with the deployment of Mexican troops.

Cameron County officials confirmed that Veterans International Bridge was temporarily closed as a result of the situation in Matamoros.

The Twitter and Facebook account used by the City of Matamoros to warn about violent incidents didn�t issue any alerts. However the U.S. Consulate in Matamoros issued a warning regarding the firefight.

�A gun battle that occurred on September 27, 2011 between the approximate hours of 5:45 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.,� the document stated. �During that time heavy gunfire was reported in different locations in Matamoros including the downtown area.�

The warning advised U.S. citizens to avoid unnecessary travel within the city.

Tamaulipas authorities issued a new release confirming the grenade attacks and condemning all forms of violence.



RIO BRAVO

Official figures have not been released regarding the total number of injured or dead, but officials confirmed two dead in the Rio Bravo shootout.

The shootout came Tuesday afternoon about 3 p.m., shortly after a group of men in an SUV threw a grenade at the Azteca movie theater along Madero Avenue, seriously injuring one person. Soon after the first attack, a second grenade was thrown at the Tamaulipas State Police building along Independence Street; no injuries were reported. The shootout took place shortly after the two attacks between Mexican authorities and gunmen.



REYNOSA

About an hour later in Reynosa, three different grenade attacks were reported without any injuries. One of the grenades was thrown at a nightclub called Dubai along Seventh Street. A second device was thrown at a hair salon next to Guadalupe Victoria Elementary School in the Mil Cumbres Dos neighborhood.

The third grenade attack took place in the Casa Bella neighborhood.

The Twitter and Facebook account used by the Reynosa city government to warn about violent incidents didn�t issue any alerts but invited the public to various cultural activities.

On Monday night, two different grenades went off one in the Gallo De Oro bar in the Rodriguez neighborhood and another in the Cadillac Bar in the downtown area. At the Gallo De Oro bar, one man by the name of Enrique Valdez Martinez was killed by the blast and seven other patrons were injured.



CIUDAD VICTORIA

In the state capital, Ciudad Victoria, two grenades were thrown at a Federal Electric Commission warehouse along Luis Caballero Avenue, causing damage to electronic equipment inside.

my God, can we only standby helpless, until they cross the border and stand in our face, as we stare helplessly?

Good Bong Water today ?

FOAD, mofo, FOAD.

GTC

how much longer before you report on a possible solution to our difficulties, instead of reporting day by day on the difficulties that just keep on emerging??

if your job is to report, whose job is it to begin the implementation of effective solutions?

i'll bet there's plenty of Federal boots in the Middle East that would be most happy to occupy the Southern Borderlines, for pay, benefits, and an offering of service.

Why don't you go badmouth some more "Baby Killers" you [bleep]' INSECT.

THAT seems to be YOUR particular FORTE, and you're a bit lost in the majority here,.....a goddam oddity.

Nice to see Hunter1960 has his very own "Campfire Deputy", though,....you two were MADE to "Serve" together.

GTC

cockroaches, and coyotes might be the ruler of this Earth, when all is said and done.

just keep the Faith, when the invaders South of the Borderlines choose to cross over, hopefully you'll be prepared.

Federal boots on the ground, right up to the River will be a valuable asset. but, who decides that Federal boots should be placed along the Borderline?

you seem to enjoy attention, but who is going to stop the illegal aliens from all parts of the globe from invading our Nation??

All Cross can do is "cut & paste" what he can find. He can't debate the issue, because all he has is his "cut & paste" articles.

He'll then cuss you, if you question his "cut & paste" articles. Your, supposed to believe everything he "cuts & pastes", because it's the internet and you know it has to be true.

I forgot to mention dead Mexicans in Mexico, awwww so sad, not. I see them at about the same level as towelheads, no use for either one.

Grenade attacks, Fire fights in Mexico. We better stop selling full auto's and explosive at gun shows near the boarder. I mean what the pluck, just dance right in and buy grenades, RPG's and full auto weapons off a table! No Way that should be allowed!! I mean what's next at these gun shows, M-1 Abrams tanks? Bad enough you can just drive off the lot with a Bradley.


Reporters, the plucking stupid supplying information to the plucking stupid.

Three of the four places in that article are within 40 miles from me. I still know people that go back and forth regually. It has been awhile since I was on the other side.

looks like it will be a while longer, too.

There's a certain weird and intriguing Sweetness to the bond so obviously being struck between Gus, and H1960. They're obviously both cold, wet, tired, hungry (rough under those bridges, ya' know)

I'll bet they're going to have a nice long "relationship", and sire all sortsa' filthy degenerate little monsters,.....creepier and more tocic than they ever,.....

WHOA !

PHEW,.....that's a wedding notice from Hell, what?

Your a hoot shorty. Too bad you couldn't use your ability to do anything then "cut & paste" on the old fart site.

How you doing on running them illegals back across the border? I guess you'll never ever do anything like that. You'll just have to let someone else do your work for you, which is par for you. You old farts and your fantasy world of all will be well, because you dream and wish it to be.

The border won't be closed within the next POTUS cycle. The same with the illegal importation and use of illegal narcotics in this country, by US citizens. Why is it so difficult for you to understand that the recreactional drug users in this country have a multi-billion dollar desire and the cartels are supplying that demand.

Yes, it's terrible i see the families and the users and how narcotics, especially Meth. impacted upon communities in Mid. TN. But i understand the reality of it, and it's not going away soon. Now matter how much some old farts here, hope and wish it would. You have a good evening little fella.

chit, cross's shadow again.

Obama has sure brough peace to Mexico with Fast and Furious.

Americans could make Mexico a whole lot more peaceful, maybe like many folks here fondly remember....

....easy, stop buying Mexican drugs. Its us that pays these guys.

Birdwatcher

Are these the grenades they supposedly got from the USA?
Grenades are us?
Not much we can do about them folks down there but when things start happening like that here,maybe a lot.

One group is buying.One group is selling. Moral equivalency in YOUR book [just like Hunter 1960 ] I reckon.

Since only ONE of the groups is shooting and killing innocents , I'm kinda in favor of ONLY killing THAT bunch.

........"the old fart site."........?

Why don't you go back to Phild Pornography, Bpondage, Homo S&M, Nazi Torture sites, and leave this one in peace than, you [bleep]' SICKO?

I mean that,....you bought and paid for TROLL.

In a way, it's a COMPLIMENT, knowing that the dialogue here upsets your handlers to the unanticipated EXTENT that it apparently does.

Us " Old Farts" are doing something RIGHT, it would seem,....

and your chit is SOOooo wrong.

Just ask.

GTC

All the romantic GAS being blown by Birdy notwithstanding,....he really knows little about Mexico TODAY,....

God Bless his "leavening", regardless.

GTC

"Its us that pays these guys."

I'll thank you to speak for YOURSELF, Mister.

Take your "Us" bullchit and SHOVE it, Mike.
