MEXICO CITY (AP) - Thirteen Mexican state police officers were arrested in the killings of 11 people found buried around a safe house for drug traffickers near the U.S. border, a federal official said Thursday.
Federal Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha also said at least four other officers, including a state commander, were on the run.
The officers were arrested in northern Mexico and brought to Mexico City.
The 11 victims apparently were bound, gagged and suffocated or shot by suspected drug traffickers, then buried in shallow graves at the house in Ciudad Juarez.
The house was rented by Alejandro Garcia, who allegedly told police he helped kill and bury victims in his backyard at the behest of drug smugglers and a Mexican state police commander - and he believes there are still more dead to be found.
The bodies were found over the weekend, and the house appears to be tied to the Vicente Carrillo drug gang.
