A car bomb killed at least four people in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, authorities said.

It was the first time a car bomb has been used to attack federal police, said the city's mayor, Jose Reyes Ferriz.

The incident happened about 8 p.m. Thursday in the city's most violent zone.

Juarez municipal police spokesman Jacinto Seguro said Friday that federal police were responding to a call that a police officer had been killed.

"When they went to check the car, there was a dead body in there, dressed up like a police officer, but it wasn't one of ours," Seguro said. "They put him in a civilian car but dressed him up in a municipal police uniform. That's when the bomb went off. It's like an act of terrorism."

Two police officers, a paramedic and a civilian were killed, federal police spokesman Ramon Salinas said.

Four more people have been killed because of the violence caused by the immoral War on Drugs.  This war is nothing but an repeat of the Prohibition era, which gave rise to the likes of Al Capone, Bugsy Siegel, and Charlie Luciano.  Now we have the meteoric rise of the Mexican cartels, who are responsible for more and more deaths each week.  Common sense tells us that if you make something voluntary illegal, people will break the law to get it.  Now if only government could realize that.
