Mexico City -- Federal police arrested a gang member on Thursday who detonated the first successful car bomb by Mexican drug cartels, an attack that killed three people in the border city of Ciudad Juarez. Fernando Contreras used a cell phone to set off the bomb that killed a federal police officer and two civilians. The bomb exploded after police and paramedics arrived on a street corner to help a wounded man. More than 2,000 people have been killed this year in Ciudad Juarez, a city of 1.3 million across the border from El Paso, Texas.
