Mexico issued 25 warrants for individuals allegedly involved in the abduction of 43 students in southern Mexico in 2014, including for the first time members of the military and federal police. Omar Gomez Trejo, the prosecutor leading the case, announced the slate of warrants during a press conference on the sixth anniversary of the students’ kidnapping. “Arrest orders have been issued for soldiers that will be carried out,” President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said. The remains of only two of the students have been positively identified so far, Reuters reported. The alleged kidnapping occurred near a large army base, and independent investigations showed members of the military were aware of what was occurring.
