TV station hit by car bomb in drug war
The bomb, the second planted in a vehicle this month in the city of Ciudad Victoria near the Gulf of Mexico and the third in Mexico since late July, caused no casualties but damaged buildings.
It came the same day as authorities discovered the body of a police officer who was investigating the immigrant massacre, which has been linked to Mexico's drug war.
