MEXICO CITY, November 9 (RIA Novosti) — Hundreds of protesters attacked a government building in the Mexican city of Chilpancingo, Guerrero state, on Saturday, accusing the government of involvement in the killings of students in Iguala, Guerrero state, local police reported.
Protesters, who were mainly students and teachers, threw stones on the government building and seized and set on fire several cars at the parking place.
On September 26, a group of policemen, accompanied by unidentified armed people, cracked down on students in Iguala who were protesting against educational reforms. Six people were killed and 17 were injured as a result of the violence. Fifty-seven students went missing, with 14 having returned home later.
On Friday Mexican Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam reported that the detained suspects had confessed to the killings of over 40 young men, burning them and tossing the bodies in a river.
Karam warned that it would be difficult to identify the charred remains and that authorities will continue to consider the students as missing until DNA tests confirm the identities.
