Mexico Pipeline Bombing Harasses Government

Senior Correspondent Eric Watkins informed the public on July 17, 2007 from LOS ANGELES, California that the country of Mexico has increased their security measures to protect their strategic installations in the country following a series of bombings on fuel pipelines operated by state-run oil and gas monopoly Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex).

Mexico’s Interior Ministry condemned the rebel group Ejército Popular Revolucionario (EPR), which claimed responsibility for the explosions and blasts on the fuel pipelines in central Mexico that occurred on July 5, 2007 and July 10, 2007 and EPR said the attacks were "the start of a national campaign of harassment against the oligarchy and this illegitimate government."

EPR the group said it would continue the "harassment" (bombings, explosions, destruction of pipelines) until Mexican President Felipe Calderon Hinojosa and Oaxaca governor Ulises Ruiz show that three EPR members, arrested in Oaxaca, are alive. According to all available government and news reports, no one has seen EPR members Edmundo Reyes Amaya, Raymundo Rivera Bravo or Gabriel Alberto Cruz Sanchez since their arrest May 25 by the Mexican government.

The July 10, 2007 explosion forced suspension of pipeline service on the 36 inch pipeline that runs between Mexico City and Guadalajara. There were no injuries or damage outside of the pipeline's installations, Pemex said.
