Police in Juarez, Mexico were killed this week by a car bomb rigged up with an improvised explosive device. More video and photos in this Spanish language report. Decapitation, torture, disappearance, and executions are nothing new in Mexico’s drug war, but this is. Said a source in this Al Jazeera item, “This has raised the bar to a level of violence that Mexico has not seen yet. It is reminiscent of Colombia … What we’re seeing now is what the military is running into in Iraq and Afghanistan.” (thanks, Jorge Spinosa)
