Protests Held In Mexico Over Missing Students

The disappearances occurred last month in the southern town of Iguala.

The students had clashed with police during a demonstration and were last seen being bundled into police cars.

Hundreds of local vigilantes have joined the search.

The vigilantes are saying they are ready to conduct a house-by-house search.

Meanwhile, forensic tests are under way on dozens of bodies found in shallow graves near the town last week.

It is feared that the bodies could be those of the students.

In Mexico City, family members led a procession carrying photographs of the disappeared.

Demonstrations also took place in many cities including Oaxaca, Veracruz, Morelia and Guerrero.
