Massive fireworks market blast kills at least 29 in Mexico
TULTEPEC, Mexico (AP) — A
powerful chain-reaction explosion
ripped through Mexico’s best-
known fireworks market on the
northern outskirts of the capital
Tuesday, killing at least 29 people,
injuring scores more and sending
a huge plume of charcoal-gray
smoke billowing into the sky.
The blast leveled the open-air
San Pablito Market in Tultepec in
the middle of the afternoon as it
bustled with shoppers stocking up
on fireworks to celebrate Christmas
and New Year’s, reducing vendors’
stands to piles of rubble, ash, and
charred metal. It was the third
devastating explosion and fire to
ravage the market since 2005.
Crescencia Francisco Garcia
said she was in the middle of the
grid of stalls along with a few
hundred others when the thun-
derous explosions began. She froze,
reflexively looked up at the sky and
then took off running through the
smoke once she realized everyone
was doing so. As she ran she saw
people with burns and cuts, and lots
of blood.

Local residents comb through ashes and rubble at the scorched
ground of Mexico’s best-known fireworks market after an explo-
sion explosion ripped through it, in Tultepec, Mexico, Tuesday.
“Everything was catching
fire. Everything was exploding,”
Francisco said. “The stones were
flying, pieces of brick, everything
was flying.”
In comments broadcast on
local TV news, Mexico State Gov.
Eruviel Avila reported Tuesday
night that in addition to the 26
people who perished at the market,
three more victims died after being
taken to hospitals. State Health
Secretary Cesar Nomar Gomez
Monge said 72 people were being
treated for injuries including
severe burns, in some cases over
90 percent of their bodies. Those
hospitalized included 10 children.
Authorities have not yet said
what may have caused the explo-
sion but announced that an investi-
gation had been opened.
“We are going to identify who is
responsible,” Avila said.
Sirens wailed and a heavy scent
of gunpowder lingered in the air
well after the explosion at the
market, where most of the stalls
were destroyed. The smoking,
burned out shells of vehicles ringed
the perimeter, and first responders
and local residents wearing blue
masks over their mouths combed
through the ash and debris.
Firefighters hosed down still-smol-
dering hotspots.
Tultepec Mayor Armando Portu-
guez Fuentes said the market was
especially well stocked because
demand for noisy firecrackers and
rockets soars this time of year.
“We are obviously in the high
Wednesday Morning
ANKARA, Turkey (AP)
— Investigators from Turkey
and Russia hunted for clues
Tuesday in the assassination
of Russia’s ambassador to
Turkey in front of stunned
onlookers at a photo
exhibition in Ankara.
A team of 18 Russian
investigators and foreign
ministry officials arrived in
Turkey and began inspecting
the art gallery where the
shooting of Andrei Karlov
took place.
Central to the
joint Turkish-Russian
investigation is whether
Mevlut Mert Altintas, a
member of Ankara’s riot
police squad, planned the
attack alone.
One senior Turkish
government official, who
spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was
not authorized to release
details to the press, said it
was unlikely Altintas acted
alone.
The official said the
killing had all the marks of
being “fully professional, not
a one-man action.”

probe slaying of
envoy in gallery
NEW YORK (AP) —
The FBI said it needed a
search warrant for thousands
of Hillary Clinton’s emails
discovered on a computer
belonging to former U.S.
Rep. Anthony Weiner in
part because agents wanted
to look for evidence of
“intrusions” by people
trying to steal classified
information, according
to court documents made
public Tuesday.
The search warrant
application, written by
an agent whose name
was blacked out, was
filed Oct. 30, two days
after FBI Director James
Comey informed Congress
that investigators had
discovered a new trove
of email correspondence
that could be pertinent to
an investigation he had
closed over the summer into
Clinton’s use of a private
server to handle emails
she sent and received as
secretary of state.
In it, agents laid out their
rationale for reopening
the probe. They wrote
that thousands of emails
between Clinton and one of
her top aides, Huma Abedin,
had been discovered on a
Dell laptop used by Weiner,
Abedin’s estranged husband.
And, based on their
previous work in the
case, the agents said they
had reason to suspect
that those emails might
contain classified material,
possibly including top secret
information that could cause
“grave damage to national
security” if disclosed.
“A complete forensic
analysis and review,” the
agent wrote, “will also
allow the FBI to determine
if there is any evidence of
computer intrusions into
the subject laptop, and
to determine if classified
information was accessed
by unauthorized users or
transferred to any other
unauthorized systems.”

BERLIN (AP) — The
Islamic State group claimed
responsibility Tuesday for
a truck attack on a crowded
Berlin Christmas market
that German authorities
said came right out of the
extremist group’s playbook,
inflicting mass casualties
on a soft target fraught with
symbolic meaning.
The Monday night attack
on the popular market
by the Kaiser Wilhelm
Memorial Church in the
heart of former West Berlin
left 12 dead and 48 injured
— the first mass casualty
attack by Islamic extremists
carried out on German soil.
German security forces
were still hunting for the
perpetrator after releasing a
man from custody for lack
of evidence.
The claim of
responsibility carried on the
Islamic State group’s Amaq
news agency described the
man seen fleeing from the
truck as “a soldier of the
Islamic State” who “carried
out the attack in response to
calls for targeting citizens
of the Crusader coalition.”
Germany is not
involved in anti-IS combat
operations, but has Tornado
jets and a refueling plane
stationed in Turkey in
support of the coalition
fighting militants in Syria.
The claim of
responsibility came
not long after German
prosecutors said they had
released a man picked
up near the scene of the
attack, initially suspected of
driving the truck.
future oil and gas leasing.
The move helps put
some finishing touches on
Obama’s environmental
legacy while also testing
President-elect Donald
Trump’s promise to unleash
the nation’s untapped energy
reserves.
The White House
announced the actions
in conjunction with the
government of Canadian
Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau, which also placed
a moratorium on new oil
and gas leasing in its Arctic
waters, subject to periodic
review.
Obama is making use
of an arcane provision in a
1953 law to ban offshore
leases in the waters
permanently. The statute
says that “the president
of the United States may,
from time to time, withdraw
from disposition any of the
unleased lands of the outer
Continental Shelf.”
The White House said
it’s confident the president’s
order will withstand legal
challenge and said the
language of the statute
provides no authority for
subsequent presidents
to undo permanent
withdrawals.

season,” Portuguez said. “There
was more product than usual
because we are a few days away
from Christmas, a few days away
from New Year’s, and those are the
days when the products made here
are consumed the most.”
Cesar Ornelas of Atizapan de
Zaragoza was only 10 minutes into
shopping with his son and his father
when he heard the first explosions.
He tried to run, but something
knocked him to the ground from
behind. He tried several times to get
up, unsuccessfully, and ultimately
his 15-year-old son Francisco had
to drag him out.
“We didn’t look back,” said
Ornelas, who suffered light burns
and a large bruise over his left
kidney. His white tank top had a
fist-size burn on the chest. “We
heard how the explosion was kind
of going off bit by bit.”
“My condolences to the families
of those who lost their lives in
this accident and my wishes for a
quick recovery for the injured,”
President Enrique Pena Nieto said
via Twitter.
