Mexico: Report Rejects Gov't Account of 43 Students' Disappearance 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Mexico, an independent report has dismissed the Mexican
government's official account of the disappearance of 43 students
following a police attack in the southern state of Guerrero last
September. The team of international experts commissioned by the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights said they found no evidence to
support the Mexican government's claim that the students from Ayotzinapa
teachers' college were incinerated in a trash dump in the town of
Cocula. Mexican Attorney General Arely Gómez has said she will order a
new investigation. Parents of the disappeared students have long
disputed the government's claims about what happened to their sons.
We'll go to Mexico for more later in the broadcast.
