  "account": "Ojocaliente, located in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, suffered a car bomb explosion outside its municipal police station overnight Sunday, according to authorities. The powerful Jalisco Nueva Generacion cartel is suspected of orchestrating the attack, which was a retaliatory act for the arrest of one of its hitmen earlier that day. Two police officers and eight civilians were injured in the blast, which also damaged 17 buildings and 11 vehicles. The attack is the third of its kind in less than a week in Zacatecas, where two of Mexico's largest drug cartels are battling for control of the strategically located state. State prosecutor Cristian Camacho stated that everything indicates the Jalisco New Generation Cartel was responsible for the bomb.",
