Mexico arrests police officer in killings of 12 young people kidnapped from bar
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Mexico City authorities say they have arrested a police officer and another man in the abduction and killing of 12 young people who were taken in May from a bar near the U.S. Embassy.
Mexico City Attorney General Rodolfo Rios says the two suspects helped kidnap the group, whose decomposing bodies were found last month buried in a ranch near the capital.
Rios says the police officer worked in the Zona Rosa, a touristy area of bars and restaurants where the 12 were kidnapped.

Prosecutors have said they believe the killings were in revenge for the slaying of a drug dealer in the trendy Condesa neighborhood.
