Missing Mexico students: prosecutor orders the arrest of Iguala mayor and wife

Description

Mexico on Wednesday ordered the arrest of the mayor of the city of Iguala, his wife and an aide, charging they masterminded last month's attack that left six students dead and 43 missing. Officials said that a drug gang implicated in the attack essentially ran the town, paying the mayor hundreds of thousands of dollars a month out of its profits from making opium paste to fuel the US heroin market.
