US authorities have asked Mexican officials to search for several suspects in Tuesday's terrorist bombings, including six Pakistanis and a Bolivian national, officials and media reported Thursday.
Mexican Attorney General Rafael Macedo told local radio nine or 10 people were on the list.
It was not immediately clear whether the same list was also given to authorities in other countries.
"We have a list of these people, though this does not mean they are in our country," Macedo said.
He said the United States, which shares a 3,200-kilometer (2,000-mile) border with Mexico, "asked us for collaboration in searching for them, in localizing them."
The Milenio daily Thursday said the list received by Mexican authorities, names six Pakistanis, two Bolivians and another person whose nationality was not known.
The daily named the suspects as Pakistanis Muhammad Asif, Rana Abdul Gafhoor, Imran Asjid Husain, Mangat Sajid Hussain, Malik Tahir Mahmood and Muhammed Shahbaz; Bolivians Maria Angela Bustillo Molina and Ana Maria Vedia Barron; as well as Imtiaz Ahmad -- MEXICO CITY (AFP)
