Mexico Arrests Gang Leader It Says Ordered 43 Students' Disappearance 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Mexico, authorities have arrested a gang leader known as "El Gil,"
who they say was involved in the disappearance of the 43 students from
the southern state of Guerrero nearly one year ago. The families of the
missing students and an international group of experts have rejected the
government's accounts of events. The experts' report earlier this month
said the Mexican government's investigation was deeply flawed, and
pointed to the role the federal police and military played in the
students' disappearance.
