Mexico beefs up security around oil pipelines |
| Home | (CBC News) - Mexico's military is being deployed to strategic oil and gas operations throughout the country following recent bombings. A left-leaning guerrilla group known as EPR is claiming responsibility for the strategic attacks, which shut down oil and gas supplies to a number of major factories. Officials from Mexico's state-owned oil and gas monopoly Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, said an explosion Tuesday and two more last week affected different sections of the same pipeline extending from central Mexico City to Guadalajara. |
