Argentine forensic experts have voiced serious doubts about a Mexican government probe into the abduction and suspected massacre last year of 43 trainee teachers, who officials have declared dead.

The 43 Mexican students who disappeared four months ago were murdered on the orders of a drug cartel who mistook them for members of a rival gang, the government said on Tuesday, finally confirming the deaths of the students who were also trainee teachers.

Mexican federal officials rescued 35 people who had been kidnapped for ransom in the southern state of Guerrero, the federal Attorney General's Office said Wednesday.
