Mexico arrests police chief over general's murder

CANCUN, Mexico (Reuters) - Mexican anti-drug troops arrested Cancun's police chief on Monday in connection with the murder of a crime-fighting army general in the Caribbean resort where drug crimes and kidnappings are soaring.

Former Gen. Mauro Enrique Tello was tortured and shot dead last week, a day after he took on the job of forming an elite police unit to fight crime in Cancun. Tello is one of the highest-ranking officials killed in Mexico's brutal drug war.

Authorities, including the local governor of Quintana Roo state, Felix Gonzalez, blamed the murder on city police working with violent drug gangs using Cancun to store South American cocaine before moving it through Mexico to the United States.

Soldiers took over Cancun's police headquarters and arrested 36 officers, including police chief Francisco Velasco, who was flown to Mexico City for questioning on the orders of Mexico's special organized crime investigation unit, SIEDO.

"This shows the need for a real clean-up of Cancun's police," Governor Gonzalez said on local radio.
Don't forget to do a major clean up of the army, and politicians as well.
