3 U.S. Marines shot in Mexico
Three U.S. Marines were injured in a shooting south of Mexico City on Friday morning, a Mexican military official told CNN Mexico.
The motive behind the attack on the American servicemen, who were on a diplomatic mission, was not immediately known.
Unknown gunmen inside what was described as a Mexican federal police vehicle fired upon a U.S. Embassy vehicle that carried the U.S. servicemen, said the official, who declined to be named for security reasons.
The injured Marines were transported to a hospital in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Stephanie Cutter to deny this ever happened.
Probably was a Seal team 6 recon mission.
Can anyone imagine this happening under any president other than Obama?
Yes, GW Bush you idiot. He could've stopped 9/11 but shose not too. Read the news you idiot.
Time to send in the drones.
No, what we need is a NEW president
Likely with Fast & Furious US guns supplied by Mr. Holder and his crew.
Why have we not sent in the troops in response to this act of war?
What a lie, injured?? they probably are dead.
I know you're joking, but it is not "seal" team, but rather SEAL Team. SEAL is an acronym for Sea Air and Land. They have hardly anything to do with USMC operations .
3 MEXICAN MARINES were injured - that's what the full story link reports, not US Marines.
Hillary will send a strongly worded letter to the Mexican government. 0bama will not remember that it happened.
A Mexican Federal vehicle fired on a US embassy vehicle. Sounds like we are not welcomed in old Mexico. Why do we allow assaults like this to take place? Why do we allow terrorist (drug and others) free access to our border? Is the Government of Mexico that corrupt?
Does anyone remember the Banana Wars and the Border Wars from the early part of the 20th Century? Maybe it is time to revisit the "Good Neighbor Policy of 1934" again.
Typically, an American bleeding heart, hand-wringing bed-wetting liberal would say there shouldn't be borders and we are a world-wide economey.
It figures. BTW, What on earth are marines doing in Mexico on a "Diplomatic Mission" This smells as fishy as all of these workplace shootings. It doesn't pass the smell test.
You apparently are not aware that US Marines are the security detachment at all US embassies and consulates around the world. Therefore they have diplomatic status.
CRUSH the current u.s. political system...STORM D.C. 2012!!!
It is time to drill here, drill now! It is time to forget about ethanol and grow all the crops we can! It is time to secure our borders! It is time to become an isolationist nation as envisioned by our forefathers! Circle the wagons!
Look for the Libs to say that Tea Partiers were the triggermen.
