Authorities in Mexico have captured the fugitive mayor of Iguala who is suspected of ordering a police attack on 43 students, who have now been missing for more than five weeks. Federal police arrested Jose Luis Abarca and his wife in Mexico City, where they were hiding in a working-class neighborhood in a building that appeared to be abandoned. They are suspected of orchestrating the attack by police on the students from a rural teachers college, who were apparently then turned over to a local drug gang. The mayor’s wife is accused of being the gang’s leading operator. The couple fled Iguala in the southern state of Guerrero, amidst an investigation that has netted more than 50 arrests and uncovered remains in multiple mass graves, none of which have so far been identified as the students. Family members and protesters have continued to hold out hope the students are alive.
