The
development adds a new twist to a probe that has come under fire from
international human rights groups and independent investigators.
Two Mexican
federal police officers allegedly participated in the disappearance
of 43 Ayotzinapa students, the National Human Rights Commission said
Thursday, implicating national agents in the 2014 case for the first
time, Agence France-Presse reports.
Jose
Larrieta Carrasco, a commission official investigating the case, said
the authorities should now look into a "new route in the
disappearance" of the students.
Prosecutors
have already charged municipal police officers in connection with the
mass abduction in the southern city of Iguala on September 26-27,
2014.
But the
governmental rights commission said it found an eyewitness who saw
two federal agents near Iguala's courthouse, where municipal officers
had stopped a bus carrying 15 to 20 students.
