Taking to Twitter, Alfaro said, “Tonight, personnel from the @FiscaliaJal and Tlajomulco Police suffered a cowardly attack with explosive devices, which preliminarily caused the death of three colleagues from the municipal police and the Prosecutor’s Office, as well as injured 10 people.”
Meanwhile, on Monday, a group of masked men carried out a deadly attack on a market in the central Mexican city of Toluca, discharging their guns before setting the location on fire, according to Al Jazeera citing authorities.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, and a suspect was not immediately named.
The statement added the attack could be linked to business conflicts. Toluca Mayor Raymundo Martinez told the Milenio newspaper that the fire was probably the result of disputes between vendors and owners of premises at the market.
Monday’s attack was the latest instance of bloodshed in Toluca, where two hacked-up bodies were discovered last week, reported Al Jazeera.
