Additional police linked to shooting

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican attorney general’s office says federal police who fired on a U.S. embassy vehicle, wounding two CIA officers, had nothing to do with a kidnapping investigation in the area. Assistant prosecutor Victoria Pacheco Jimenez says federal officers charged with attempted murder were not working on the kidnapping of a government official in the area south of Mexico City on Aug. 24, when they chased and fired 152 shots into an armoured SUV with diplomatic plates. Pacheco said Sunday that the total number of officers involved has increased to 19. Only 15 are in custody so far. Federal police spokesman Jose Ramon Salinas said Sunday he had no comment. Federal police maintain that they shot at the car in a case of mistaken identity while investigating a kidnapping.
