Mexican Federal agents suffered three more armed attacks in the form of ambushes against patrols killing one agent and wounding four others in Juarez Saturday, say Mexican news reports.

The attacks total nine attacks and ambushes directed against federal armed patrols in Juarez since last Sunday night.

The first attack took place near the intersection of calles Lopez Mateos and La Raza where one agent was killed and a civilian wounded nearby when his Toyota Tacoma crashed.

The second attack took place a short distance away near the intersection of calles Plan de Guadalupe and Danubio in the Los Nogales district where agents killed one armed suspect driving a Ford Lobo pickup truck after the agents were fired on.

The last attack took place at about 1400 hrs near the intersection of calles Paseo de la Victoria and Morelia where an unknown number of armed suspects or agents were wounded.
