Mexico suspects Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartel behind car bomb
The blast in Ojocaliente, located in Zacatecas state, injured two police officers and eight civilians when it occurred overnight Sunday.
Ojocaliente, a city in Zacatecas state, Mexico, experienced a car bomb explosion on Sunday night outside the municipal police station. Authorities suspect the Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartel as the perpetrators, allegedly in retaliation for the arrest of one of their hitmen the previous day. The blast injured two police officers and eight civilians, damaging 17 buildings and 11 vehicles.
State prosecutor Cristian Camacho linked the incident to the arrest, stating that everything suggests the cartel was responsible for the bomb. The powerful cartel is vying for control of the strategically located state, where it acts as a key transit point for drugs entering the United States.
