According to Agence France Presse on July 12th, an "unprecedented" bombing attack targeting security forces occurred near Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, on the 11th, resulting in at least 6 deaths and 12 injuries.
On the 12th, the Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro, declared, "This is something we have never seen before." Despite his leadership in one of the most violent states in Mexico.
The governor of the state condemned this as a "brutal act of terror" and considered it a "provocation to the entire Mexico.".
In this country where violence is commonplace, bombing attacks are still relatively rare.
According to the report, Alfaro accused this of "organized crime", but did not specifically name the new generation of cartels in the state of Jalisco, which are one of the two most terrifying drug cartels in Mexico.
Alfaro stated that there were three police officers among the victims. The attack also resulted in the death of two civilians.
Alfaro pointed out that the attackers used seven improvised explosive devices, targeting staff from the Jalisco State Prosecutor's Office and the Trahomulko City Police Department.
According to reports, about 200 bodies were found in mass graves in Trahomulko this year. It is speculated that these are all victims of the Cartel War.
According to reports, on the evening of the 11th, after a representative of a civil society group searching for missing persons received an anonymous phone call, security forces rushed to the scene, claiming that there may be a mass grave at the scene. The explosion then occurred next to a vehicle carrying police officers.
Alfaro stated that this is a "trap" aimed at making "our police appear.".
