"The men, traveling with a Mexican Marine captain, were wounded and taken to
a hospital for treatment, though their injuries were not life threatening.
Television footage showed the vehicle strafed with bullet marks, its tires
and rear window shot out.
A dozen federal police officers detained and questioned over the attack have
been ordered held in custody for 40 days, and in initial statements to
federal prosecutors they claimed they confused the Americans for criminals.
However, eyewitnesses at a bend in the road outside the small town of Tres
Marias told Reuters the gunmen were dressed in plain clothes and carried
rifles. They said they pursued the Americans firing from unmarked cars

one woman who witnessed the incident but asked not to be named for fear of
repercussions."
