Mexico City: Mexican officials are indicating that a shooting by federal agents against two CIA agents and a Mexican navy captain in a US Embassy vehicle was an accident and not a deliberate attack.
Navy Secretary Mariano Francisco Saynez says the attack on the bulletproof SUV "was an error and not a malicious act."
Interior Minister Alejandro Poire says federal police officials were investigating a kidnapping that had taken place a day before near where the shooting happened. He wouldn`t give any other details "out of respect for the kidnapping victim."
Federal Police regional security chief Luis Cardenas Palomino also told reporters over the weekend that agents were investigating a kidnapping and that his agency was cooperating with investigators.
