Mexican Authorities Disarm Acapulco Police over Drug Cartel Ties
----------------------------------------------------------------

In southern Mexico, federal and state police have disarmed the entire
police force of the resort city of Acapulco, issuing arrest warrants for
a pair of police commanders accused of carrying out killings on behalf
of drug cartels. Soldiers, marines and state police will take over
security in the city of 800,000 people. Last year Acapulco had one of
the highest murder rates in the world.
