HeadlineSep 26, 2014

In Mexico, an army officer and seven soldiers have been detained over an alleged massacre of 22 people in San Pedro Limón, in the southern state of Mexico. The army had claimed the victims died in a firefight in June, but an Associated Press investigation found evidence of people being shot at chest level while against a wall. A witness said all but one of the 22 people killed was shot after they had surrendered.
