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.

See my reply to Tom Payne. Same goes for you.
...in regards to the country which sends ex military to slit the throats of bloggers in Texas to protect their billion dollar drug empire which is pumped into the US daily.
The U.S. does not send soldiers to cut people's throats. You are an idiot.
I'll be glad when school starts so these children will have something to do.
Badges? We don't see no stinkin badges!
All of our embassies (like the one in Mexico City) are guarded by Marines, you drooling moron.
You made a good point to the uninitiated but then slid back into junior high insults. Shame.
Eric, Eric, hurry, we need more guns amigo....
Surely, you don't mean that. We all need to work together to put Holder in jail and make sure Obama is one term.
I know why they are there.Rumors for weeks Obama has special services in Mexico to get leaders of drug cartels.Diplomatic catastrophe
Wrong... U.S. Marines are interior guards at our Embassies and Consulates.
Jackal`s right, they`re American Soldiers and deserve the best we can give them. Its not like they`re halfway around the world, bring`em home now!
Mexico has mistreated America forever... jailing Americans for car accidents... extorting money from Americans... kidnapping Americans... the drug trade... aiding and abetting the invasion of America by Mexican parasites that even Mexico no longer wants... And we just keep kissing up to this third world garbage dump. Why?
That "hellhole" south of the border is a worthless adventure. Why anyone would want to risk their lives going to Mexico is beyond me.
Tey send their people here to live off of the taxpayers...illegally of course..and if you enter Mexico illegally, you wind up in prison.
Romney should seal the border with troops and give them "shoot to kill orders" for anyone they see within 1 mile of the border. I'm sick of politicians, who have absolutely no guts to do what is proper and right.
We buy lots of oil from them.
OIL, moron!
Now there are conflicting reports about the nationality of those hurt. Lets wait for more details.
@bunogi amsturad
That tirade was uncalled for.
Exactly which part of what bunogi said is untrue?
Why, does the truth hurt???
Truth if I ever heard it. It is a very rare commidity now-a-days.
Knowing the type of gun control that Obama uses with American forces, I'd bet that these 3 marines were unarmed at the time of the attack.
Either unarmed or required to travel with unloaded weapons.
Almost certainly these US Marines are unarmed. A CBP officer I told me he crossed into Mexico, was arrested, and later released without his gun.
Foreigners (including Embassy personnel) cannot carry arms in Mexico. Embassy personnel can carry arms on Embassy grounds, because those grounds are considered foreign territory. Mexican gun laws are strict, and somewhat crazy. All legal arms must be registered, and the calibers are very limited. No pistols larger than .38SPL or .380ACP. Rifles of 7mm Mauser are also prohibited. I know all of this as I have a home in Mexico and many registered arms. Also, NO gun stores in the country, other than 1 in Mexico, run by the arms. If you read the newspapers, you know what an outstanding success this gun control has been!

welcome to Obamapolitics, Mexico style, what do the parents think? he is killing americans in Afghanistan and Mexico for votes! his votes your blood!
Clearly an act of war! Nuke Mexico now!
Sounds like a job for Blackwater.
