From InSight - Organized Crime in the Americas
26 Police Arrested as Mexico Investigates Bodyguards' Murder: "Authorities in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, have announced the arrest of 26 local police officers, as they investigate the murder of two bodyguards serving the state’s governor.
Five men allegedly behind the murders were also killed in a confrontation with the army, while a surviving gunman admitted to his involvement in the crime, according to El Universal.
The police officers worked in Zuazua, Nuevo Leon, where the two bodyguards were abducted on Tuesday night, and authorities believe the police protected the group responsible for the murders."

And sometimes I simply muse.
