Mexican Embassy

The US embassy in Mexico said on Friday that Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of the infamous cartel kingpin "El Chapo," had surrendered voluntarily while his father's former partner Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada seemed to have been taken against his will.

Mexico's government said on Friday evidence suggests that 43 missing trainee teachers were murdered and their charred remains tipped in a rubbish dump and a river in southwest Mexico, based on the confessions of three detained gang members.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon faces a growing scandal in the last days of his administration as prosecutors accuse top federal police officers of lying in the shooting of a US embassy car.

Mexican federal police fired on a U.S. Embassy vehicle and wounded two U.S. government employees on Friday after their vehicle drove into a rural, mountainous area outside the capital where the officers were looking for criminals, Mexican and U.S. officials said.
