Bombs rattle Mexico in new political worry

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Bombs exploded at Mexican political and financial targets on Monday, rattling a country already nervous about unrest in a poor southern state and a deep political rift from an acrimonious election in July.

No one was injured in the blasts at Mexico's top electoral court, an opposition party's headquarters and a Canadian-owned bank in the capital.

No group claimed responsibility for the bombings.

A door was damaged and windows blown out at the electoral court, known as the Trife, which angered leftists in September for ruling that conservative candidate Felipe Calderon won July's presidential election.

Judges threw out claims of fraud by leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who held street protests that paralysed the centre of the capital for six weeks.
