Members of the anarchist group the Animal Liberation Front attempted to derail a subway train by placing cans of butane gas in one of the coaches on arrival at the station of Line 2 in Taxqueña, Mexico City.
The incident occurred Thursday at 10:30 pm, and one of the attackers was arrested by members of the Banking and Industrial Police when he tried to escape.
The information provided by the Attorney General of the Federal District (PGJDF) indicates that the device was composed of three butane gas canisters, a rocket known as "tiger claw" and a candle.
However, the movement of the convoy in the curve between General Anaya and the Taxqueña station affected the device and detonated only one of the cans.
Adrian Magdaleno Gonzalez, 21, seventh semester student of psychology at the FES Aragon, was arrested and brought before the Public Ministry of the special agency for crime in the Metro.
The young man said he received advice on the Internet to make the explosive device and belongs to an anarchist group that is against the mistreatment of animals and transnational corporations, also are against government policies.
The attack on the Mexican Embassy in Chile might be linked to anarchist groups that have recently been vandalism the City.
PGJDF sources have indicated that that the anarchist group the Animal Liberation Front has been advising Mexican youth - from South American countries through the internet and in universities.
