Mexico: Soldiers Accused of Massacring 22 People 
-------------------------------------------------


 
In Mexico, an army officer and seven soldiers have been detained over an
alleged massacre of 22 people in San Pedro Limón, in the southern state
of Mexico. The army had claimed the victims died in a firefight in June,
but an Associated Press investigation found evidence of people being
shot at chest level while against a wall. A witness said all but one of
the 22 people killed was shot after they had surrendered.
