Mexican Atty. Gen. Sergio Garcia Ramirez, angered by the weekend slayings of a TV newscaster and two others by police, suspended the head of the federal police in Juarez and vowed to press an investigation. One federal police officer and three city police officers have been arrested in the machine-gun attack Saturday in downtown Juarez, just across the Texas border. The driver of the car, the husband of slain anchor Linda Bejarano, said he had refused to stop for men who identified themselves as police because he was afraid they were robbers. The officers told police they had mistaken the victims’ car for one linked to drug traffickers.
