Pipeline attacks still not solved

When saboteurs blew up several natural gas pipelines in central Mexico this month, temporarily shutting down production for U.S. automakers and other important manufacturers, a small and shadowy Marxist guerrilla group called the Popular Revolutionary Army reportedly claimed responsibility.

Four explosions in the Bajio, a central region that’s the stronghold of the ruling conservative National Action Party and a major manufacturing zone, disrupted the flow of natural gas between Mexico City and Guadalajara, the country’s two biggest cities, and paralyzed pipelines in Veracruz and Guanajuato states.
