A group of Argentinian forensic experts claim that none of the remains submitted to them for analysis have been identified as belonging to the missing 43 students.

MEXICO CITY, November 12 (RIA Novosti) – A group of Argentinian forensic experts have not found any connection between the 43 students who have disappeared in Mexico and the remains submitted to them for analysis, the experts said in a statement.

"In short, so far, none of the remains recovered from the three sites have been identified as belonging to the 43 students [who have disappeared in Iguala, located in Mexico's Guerrero state]," the statement, released Tuesday, said.

On Sunday a group of demonstrators protesting over the students' murder in Iguala, Mexico, set on fire the door of the National Palace (Zocalo) in the central square of Mexico City.

On Saturday, hundreds of protesters attacked a government building in the Mexican city of Chilpancingo, in the Guerrero state, accusing the government of being involved in the killing of students in Iguala.

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 November 7, Mexican Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam reported that detained suspects had confessed to having killed 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 found by police and that authorities will continue to consider the students as missing until DNA tests confirm the identities.
