There have been twenty-two Zetas drug gang members that have been held in the latest arrests over the killings of 145 people. All of the arrests brought the total of detained to 55, which included 16 police officers for the involvement with the mass graves in San Fernando, Tampaulipas state. Five women were accused of involvement in organized crime, murder, kidnapping and violating firearms laws by marines.
So far, a total of 145 bodies have been found from the mass graves. Those graves lie on a path that used regularly by migrants heading for the U.S. Authorities blame the Zetas for the massacre of 72 migrants in Tamaulipas because they have been blamed for other battles. In 2006, more than 34,600 people were killed during the Mexican drug violence.
