Two army generals reportedly have been implicated in the theft of half a ton of cocaine from a Mexican police station and are being held at a military prison. The two generals served as military commanders in the same district of northern Sonora state where the cocaine was seized by army troops May 12 and stolen from police custody nine days later. Formal charges have not been brought against the generals, Antonio Ramon Mimendi and Antonio Morales, the Mexico City newspaper Reforma reported Monday.
