Explosions in Mexico City
Three bombs exploded early this morning, Monday, 6 November, in Mexico City. They were distributed around the city; one was at an electoral tribune (Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación), another at the offices of the former party that ruled Mexico for decades, the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) and another at a bank office (Scotiabank). Another bomb was deactivated outside another bank branch, and police were investigating a backpack found outside a Sanborns.
A PRI representative commented to radio station Formato 21 that he believed that the bombs were used by groups trying to destabilize Mexico before President-Elect Felipe Calderón is sworn-in on 1 December, but no groups have yet claimed responsibility for the bombs.

"The device, labeled 'Bomb Danger,'"....
...sounds like a new Electric Six release.
[crispy says: BAH HA HA HAAAAAAAAA! I wish we'd been targeted by an Electric Six attack. That would have been waaaaaaay more sexy.]
