Mexico Says Experts Have Identified Remains of 2nd Missing Student 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Mexican government says experts have identified the remains of a
second of the 43 students who went missing in the state of Guerrero
almost a year ago. Mexican authorities have claimed the students were
rounded up by local police and turned over to drug gang members, who
killed them and burned their bodies at a garbage dump. A recent
independent report rejected Mexico's version of events and pointed to a
role by federal police and the military in the students' disappearance.
On Wednesday, authorities said testing by experts in Austria determined
a bone fragment from a site near the dump belonged to missing student
Jhosivani Guerrero de la Cruz.
