This is a demonstration of what these organized crime groups are capable of,” Governor Enrique Alfaro said while announcing the incident.

This attack also represents a challenge against the Mexican State as a whole, he added. He also reported that the state security cabinet was in permanent session.

Last night, the Tlajomulco Prosecutor’s Office and Police personnel suffered a cowardly attack with explosive devices, which preliminarily caused the death of three colleagues from the municipal police and the Prosecutor’s Office, as well as 10 people injured, he explained.

Unofficially, it was learned that the unit was on an operation, presumably in the area of a narco-laboratory, when the vehicle exploded.

At the moment there are two versions: one, that the vehicle was set on fire by a grenade, and the second, that it passed over a land mine.

The events took place on a road that leads to Flaviano Ramos Norte Street, less than two kilometers from the municipal capital of Tlajomulco.
