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 students' disappearance on the night of Sept. 26 in the southwestern city of Iguala has triggered massive protests in Mexico. Officials say they were abducted by corrupt police officers, who handed them over to a local drug gang.
In a document published on the website of Mexican human rights group Tlachinollan, the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF), which has been working to identify remains, detailed numerous problems with the government's handling of the case as well as the conclusions it has already drawn.
So far, the remains of just one of the group has been positively identified.
The document also faults the attorney general's office for faulty genetic analysis of samples from family members that would be needed to identify the remains.
EAAF says the discovery strongly suggests that remains belonging to other victims are at the same site.
Phone calls and emails to EAAF seeking comment were not immediately returned.
A spokesman for the attorney general's office said on Sunday he had no comment on the EAAF's findings.
