A letter bomb sent to the Polytechnic University of Hidalgo (UPH) caused minor injuries to a teacher of the institution, said sources from the Secretary of Public Education of the state and from the department of studies.<\/p>\n

The events occurred around 5pm yesterday in the university’s facilities located in the town of Zempoala where 3,064 students are enrolled.<\/p>\n

The assistant secretary of Higher Education of the state of Hidalgo, Rolando Dur\u00e1n, said that UPH received a package addressed to one of their professors.<\/p>\n

An academic noticed “an anomalous, unlikely situation” on not recognizing the sender, which motivated him to activate a security protocol, so the package was isolated and opened “carefully,” said the functionary.<\/p>\n

In spite of the precautions, the package “exploded in the hand” of a professor which caused him minor burns.<\/p>\n

The rector of UPH, Sergio Arteaga Carre\u00f1o, explained that the wounded professor suffered “burns on the hand” and on his clothes.<\/p>\n

According to initial inquiries, “inside the package was gunpowder that was activated with a 9 volt battery, it was addressed to a professor, but it exploded on another professor since he opened the package because it appeared suspicious since the sender did not have the correct address.”<\/p>\n

The explosion provoked a deployment of municipal, state and civil protections police without having more information on the carrier at the moment. The General Prosecutor of Justice of Hidalgo opened the preliminary investigation 12\/DAP\/556\/2011.<\/p>\n

The event comes after the group Individualists Tending toward the Wild, who oppose industrial and technological development, sent a package bomb that wounded two scientists of the Technological Institute of Higher Studies of Monterrey (ITESM), in the State of Mexico on August 8th.<\/p>\n

Several months ago, the National Association of Universities and Institutions of Higher Education (ANUIES) introduced more rigorous security protocols to prevent this type of attack against Mexican universities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
