Hoping somehow they will do the right thing and let the grieving family and friends of the murdered students know what the hell happened, and why, and who their henchmen are who did their dirty work for them.

Mexico mayor, wife arrested over 43 missing students
AFP November 5, 2014, 6:05 am



Mexico City (AFP) - Mexican police on Tuesday detained a fugitive ex-mayor and his wife accused of ordering a deadly police attack that left 43 students missing, raising hopes of a break in a case bedeviling the nation.

Jose Luis Abarca, the former mayor of the southern city of Iguala, and Maria de los Angeles Pineda were captured by federal officers before dawn in Mexico City's populous working-class district of Iztapalapa, authorities said.

Officials hope the arrest will yield new clues about the whereabouts of the students in a disappearance that has drawn international condemnation, sparked national protests and shaken President Enrique Pena Nieto's administration.

The two were being interrogated by federal prosecutors. Relatives of victims later entered the attorney general's office while some 30 people protested outside.
