Pipeline Attacks

Honda, Hershey's and other multinational companies temporarily shut down their factories in western Mexico after rebels attacked a key natural gas pipeline. The small, left-wing guerilla group that claimed responsibility for the explosions vowed to continue the attacks, while the Mexican government scrambled to increase security at strategic installations across Mexico. Security analysts and energy experts downplayed the attacks, noting they were relatively small in nature and mostly symbolic, having little effect on the economy.
