Mexico: official Ayotzinapa story questioned | World War 4 Report: The official version is that responsibility for violence against the
students, who attended the traditionally leftist Raúl Isidro Burgos
Rural Teachers' College in the Guerrero town of Ayotzinapa, lies
entirely with Iguala mayor José Luis Abarca Velázquez, municipal police
in the Iguala area and a local drug gang. But a leaked document shows
that federal and state police were regularly informed on the students'
movements from the time they left Ayotzinapa for Iguala the evening of
Sept. 26 through the time of the attack, according to the Proceso
report. Federal forces could have intervened to stop the violence;
instead, they may have participated in it. Some of the students reported
seeing federal agents during the attack; other students said the police
assaulting them had equipment, including a machine gun, not issued to
municipal police departments in Mexico.
