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.

Conflicting reports?
Smedley Darlington Butler says get the hell out of foreign countries.
It's all Bush's fault. Oh wait....
I wonder where the sh ooters got the gu ns?
Can you say Fast and Furious?
Hate to tell you, but s p aces do nothing to keep bots from word recognition. Hope you haven't speaking too much n ega ti vity regarding O ba m a......ahaahhaha!
Shoot back....duh.
The U.S. Government probably had them dis-armed like the soldiers at Ft. Hood that were gunned down in that work place violence incident with Capt. Nidal Hasan.
we should cut off all aid to mexico. stop them from entering our country. and let the entire crappy country collapse in on itself. then see how they feel about Americans coming to help them on a diplomatic mission.
I agree.
John,
Unfortunately if we followed your suggestion, we would have an additional 15 million Mexicans arrive on our doorstep fleeing the failing Mexican nation.
gun running. Happened under bush and obama because gov is to big and parts of it are competing for control of certain areas of the world.
Embassy Duty!
There was a book written years ago about having fun during foreign travel. If you were a woman, all you had to do is call up the Embassy and ask, "Where do the Marines go to party? "
God bless them.
What a silly knee jerk comment......the US has Marines at all US Embassies for the protection of the personnel working in them.
Yes, Rocco – and the hosting country is supposed to provide for the safety of diplomats outside the embassy.
I thought the Embassy duty has been out sourced to contractors
So you don't think we should have embassies?
Don't marines staff the security at american embassies? Probably escorting someone around town. Let them travel in humvees with machine guns and at least fight back. Its a dangerous world and we need to let dangerous people know we can defend ourselves.
FAST and SPURIOUS!
We won't though. so EAD.
Eric Holder's gun?
huntingnarcissists: What the hell do we have Marines in Mexico for?
How else do you expect Holder to get the guns to the drug cartels?
As per the article, they were in a diplomat vehicle on a diplomatic mission. What that mission was, is a) none of our business and b) not relevant to the story. You ask what the Marines are doing there in Mexico? Simple, Marines are in every U.S, Embassy in the world. Why wouldn't they be there?
Ben Dover, can u really be that stupid???? I bet you need someone to tell you to take your next breath...somewho idiot is just not a strong enough word to desribe you.
You mean like Reagan and Ollie North arming Commie rebels down in South America?
Before you don the suicide vest, you should know that the 72 virgins that you are supposed to get on the other side are all men.
