Arrests

Authorities in Tabasco have arrested four who they claim were involved in the murder of the relatives of the marine slain in last week's operation that resulted in Arturo Beltrán Leyva's death. (Kind of a convoluted sentence, feel free to reread a few times.) The government says that the four are linked to the Zetas, and also that as-yet-unnamed police participated in the killing.

I said yesterday that the marine's mother and two sisters were killed. In fact, I've read conflicting reports, but the most often reported version is that his mother, a sister, a brother, and an aunt were the family members killed. Apologies for the confusion.
