Bone Fragment from Disappeared Student Casts Doubt on Official Account of Ayotzinapa Massacre
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, there is a major development in the case of the 43 Ayotzinapa
students who were kidnapped and disappeared nearly six years ago in the
town of Iguala, Guerrero. A bone fragment found in the nearby town of
Cocula has been determined to be from one of the students, 21-year-old
Christian Alfonso Rodríguez Telumbre. The Mexican government has long
claimed the bodies of the students were burnt and disposed of in a
garbage dump in Cocula or in a nearby river. But the bone fragments were
found in a different location, casting new doubts about the government's
official account of what happened to the students.
