Police in Mexico have found mass graves containing at least 15 charred bodies near where 43 students disappeared after a deadly police shooting last week.
The burial pits were found Saturday on a hill in a community outside Iguala, Southern Mexico, the town where the students were last seen.
Witnesses claimed that they had last been seen being led away by police. Twenty-two police officers were arrested in Guerrero today, accused of killing two students during the clashes last week.
