"Violence prompts Consulate closure in Nuevo Laredo
Facility closed through Aug. 5; Matamoros consul remains active"
By SERGIO CHAPA
The Brownsville Herald
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "July 30, 2005 — A Thursday night battle in Nuevo Laredo between drug traffickers armed with grenades, rocket launchers and heavy machine guns prompted American officials to temporarily close its Consulate in the troubled border city.
U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza said in a written statement that the Consulate would suspend all operations except for emergency services for Americans through at least Aug. 5.
The closure comes two days after Garza announced that ongoing border violence prompted the U.S. State Department to extend a travel advisory for the entire Mexican side of the border until further notice."

"Explosions kill 4; injure nearly 30 in western Mexico"
By LUIS CARLOS SAINZ
Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TONALA, Mexico -- Two assailants lobbed grenades into a crowded cockfighting ring before dawn Monday in this western Mexican city, killing four people and wounding 25 others, four critically, state investigators said.
Two people were killed at the scene of the attack and two more died while receiving medical treatment, said Gerardo Octavio Solis, attorney general for Jalisco state. The ring was located at a racetrack in Tonala, located outside Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city.
The explosions tossed chairs and sent onlookers fleeing from the scene, which was strewn with blood. Police and military officials guarded the site midday Monday.
Solis said 25 of the more than 100 people who attended the cockfight were injured. Federal and state authorities were investigating and hunting for two attackers."
