Description: "11/06/2006: Assailants detonated improvised explosive devices simultaneously at a Canadian-owned Scotia bank branch, the seat of Mexico's highest electoral court, and the headquarters of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in Mexico City in Mexico City. The attack caused unspecified damage. Authorities defused other devices found at a coffee shop near the PRI headquarters and another Scotia bank branch. A coalition of five leftist guerrilla groups calling themselves Revolutionary Coordination claimed responsibility; however, the head of Mexico's Deputy Attorney's Office for Special Investigation into Organized Crime (SIEDO) discounted the claims and Mexico's Public Security Secretary blamed the 05/23 Jaramillista Morelense Command."
