Mexican governor quit over missing students

The governor of Mexico’s southern Guerrero state –where 43 students went missing after clashing with police last month – has said he is standing down.
Angel Aguirre said he hoped the move would create “a more favourable political climate to bring about the solution to the crisis.”
He has faced growing criticism since the disappearance
of the students in the town of Iguala on September 26,
the BBC reports.
Eyewitnesses described seeing them being bundled into
police cars.
Six people were killed during the clashes.
Mexico’s Attorney General, Jesus Murillo Karam, on
Thursday said there appeared to be deep ties across the
southern state between politicians, the police and drug
gangs.
He said arrest warrants had been issued for Iguala Mayor
Jose Luis Abarca, his wife, and the town’s police chief.
They are suspected of ordering the police to hand over
the students to local gangsters.
All three suspects have gone missing.
