MOSCOW, October 12 (RIA Novosti) - Some of the bodies in mass graves in the southern Mexican city of Iguala do not correspond to the 43 missing students, governor of the Guerrero states Angel Aguirre was cited as saying by Agence France-Presse.

"I can say that some of the bodies, according to the work of forensic experts, do not correspond to the youths from Ayotzinapa," Aguirre said, Ayotzinapa being the town where the students were studying before their disappearance Iguala.

Late September, a group of students rallying against an education reform in Iguala was attacked by the police. Six students were killed, 17 wounded and 43 reported missing.

Forensic experts found clandestine mass graves on the outskirts of Iguala last week. The graves reportedly contained 28 bodies, too damaged to be identified.

On October 7, Mexican national security commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido Garcia said that federal forces have disarmed all police units in Iguala after a violent crackdown on protesting students, with the security in the area currently provided by federal forces.

A total of 34 suspects have been held in the case so far, while all disarmed policemen were sent to a retraining center, with their weapons being examined for evidence of usage in the recent violence in Iguala.
