New images are coming in of that brazen attack carried out in front of a Nuevo Laredo police station.

A car bomb went off. in west nuevo laredo just after eight a-m Tuesday.

It happened only hours after seven men were killed in the streets.

Witnesses say they heard the loud explosion and saw flames several miles away.

Two people were reportedly hurt in the attack and transported to area hospitals.

No police officers were hurt, eventough their offices are only a few hundreds feet away.

Soon after the incident a massive gunfire reportedly broke out between the Mexican military and armed gunmen.

We're told as the soldiers blocked off the area, they were attacked by the gunmen who were driving in large trucks.

City leaders are calling the car bombing an isolated incident.

The Mexican drug dealers seem to be picking up a few tips from their palestinian bretheren.

In the Middle East, yes, but now it comes much closer.

Thank you, Obama. I hope you are rewarded with a history of one who brought terror closer to home. How about that meeting in WH with Muslim Brotherhood the other day?

Did you serve dog? Did you swear allegiance to the Brotherhood? Did you knuckle bump with an enemy to the US?

I hope you go down in history for the POS you are. And, in November, I hope you get a tremendous humiliation.

Heard an interview this morning on GB with Frank Gaffney....the relationship between the two definitely exists. There's a special program that outlines these exact connections. It's called "Rumors of War III", on GBTV. No one else seems to be paying attention....or could care less.

They caught about 30 drug subs last year. Usually they have a crew of 4-5, are 45 feet long, and can carry a cargo of about 5 tons. They can fully submerge and carry sonar adapted from the commercial fishing industry.

You know what I heard? That some of the logistical support for these drug shenanigans are from some non-state actor in the Middle East.

Now WHY would they do that?

My guess is to first let the beaners find out all the “don’t’s” for such risky, early sub missions, and theeeeen later to....

INTRODUCE AN ALTOGETHER NEW CARGO TYPE.
