Saturday, July 17, 2010 A car bomb that exploded at about 20:00 MDT Thursday (01:00 Friday UTC) in a violent area of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico killed several people and injured more. Police spokesman Jacinto Seguro said Friday that Mexican federal police received a call that an officer was dead. Seguro went on to say, “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. 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.” Federal police spokesman Ramon Salinas said the blast killed two officers, a paramedic, and one civilian, although Mayor Jose Reyes said that only three died. At least six others were injured, although reports have said the total injured may be as high…

Credit Card Summons Isn’t The End Of The Road
Here’s An Opinion On: Division 7a Loan Agreement Credi By Sean A. Kelly Many people think that simply by not paying credit card debt, their debt will go away. The reality isn’t that simple. Most of the lenders are not going to easily forget about a financial debt – particularly since in most cases, the debt is for thousands of dollars. While generally the cost of taking legal action against the borrower is much higher than the quantity that the borrower owes the lender, the creditors and personal debt collectors of unsecured personal debt do possess a right to pursue legal action to gather an unpaid credit card debt. If you have been a defaulter, it is possible that your creditor may file a lawsuit against you and you may receive credit card summons. In case you still don’t pay after you have received the credit card summons to show…
