Excavated Remains Not Human, Probe Finds
Mexican government investigators have determined that bone fragments excavated from a site where the army allegedly buried leftist rebels in the 1970s belonged to a horse or a mule, not humans, according to the attorney general’s office.
Investigators said the 23 bone fragments were apparently unrelated to bits of cloth also found this week in a 3-foot-deep pit in the southern state of Guerrero.
The statement, however, apparently did not convince relatives of those who disappeared. They demanded a thorough inquiry.
