Arrests Made in Massacre of 72 Migrants
---------------------------------------



In other news from Mexico, seven people have been arrested for their
alleged roles in the massacre of seventy-two Central and South American
migrants last month. The mass slaying near the US border is believed to
be the single deadliest attack of Mexico’s drug war. The head of
Mexico’s National Security Council, Alejandro Poiré Romero, announced
the suspects’ capture.

Alejandro Poiré Romero: "This arrest will help to completely clarify
what happened in San Fernando and means an important step to put an end
to impunity in aggressions to migrants committed by organized
criminals."
