MEXICO CITY, July 10 (Reuters) - Mexico said on Tuesday it would tighten security at strategic installations after a shadowy leftist rebel group claimed responsibility for a rash of fuel pipeline explosions.

Presidential spokesman Maximiliano Cortazar said investigations were under way into an explosion at a natural gas pipeline early on Tuesday and three other pipeline blasts last week.
