3 police officers killed, 10 others wounded in “unprecedented” explosives attack in Mexico

Three police officers were killed and 10 other people wounded Tuesday in an “unprecedented” explosives attack in the Mexican state of Jalisco, the state governor Enrique Alfaro said.

The western state is the base of operations of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, one of Mexico’s most powerful drug trafficking groups that has a presence in a large part of the country and is embroiled in disputes with other drug syndicates.

Alfaro said Jalisco’s security cabinet was “in permanent session” to investigate the attack, which has not been attributed to a specific criminal organization.

Authorities learned of the incident shortly after 8:00 pm Tuesday, with reports indicating a vehicle on fire with five people inside in Tlajomulco de Zuniga, a suburb of the city of Guadalajara, police sources said.
