U.S. Consulate Bombed in Mexico

In Nuevo Laredo, Mexico at 11 p.m. Friday night, a small homemade bomb was thrown at the United States Consulate. No one was injured although windows were blown out. As a result, the consulates in Nuevo Laredo and Piedras Negras are being closed beginning Monday. Many are concerned that the drug trafficking organisations in Mexico are targeting America because of its support of President Felipe Calderon's antidrug beliefs. Another cause for concern is that Michelle Obama had been scheduled to arrive on Tuesday in Mexico City.
