Speculating here, but it is possible that last Sunday morning's attack in Juarez was a prelude to this attack. Google Translate
Two unidentified Mexican Federal agents were killed and several others were wounded in a car bomb attack in downtown Juarez, according to Mexican new reports.
The attack took place near the intersection of calles 16 de Septiembre and Bolivia at about 2000 hrs, and was less than a half mile from the US border. Several others were injured in the attack downtown including a television reporter.
A message appeared nearby threatening more car bombs.
The attack is the first car bomb attack in Mexico and is considered an escalation in the Mexican drug war.
UPDATE: Video of the moment of the explosion:
