The 2001 Mexican Chamber of Deputies bombing attempt (Spanish: Atentado fallido a la Cámara de Diputados de México de 2001) was an attempted bombing that targeted the Mexican Chamber of Deputies on October 10, 2001. The attack was attempted by 34-year-old former Israeli Defense Force colonel Salvador Gersson Smeck along with another perpetrator.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
The attack was the top news on Mexican television the day it occurred, but it vanished within just a few days.[citation needed]
Bombing plot
[edit]Around 4:00 p.m,[8][4] following an overnight meeting between ex-sugar industry workers and the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Beatriz Paredes,[4][8] two individuals began photographing the group; this behavior, and the way they photographed the workers (aiming their cameras below their belts), and who had seen the men the day prior, frustrated the workers and demanded their identification.[8][4]
The two individuals claimed to be press photographers.[8] Unconvinced, the workers overwhelmed them, only to learn that they were armed with firearms and other weapons. A disturbance broke out, and a few workers alerted congressional security, who eventually broke up the disturbance and detained the two individuals while disarming them.[4][8]
