BBC - 9/24/12
The Mexican armed forces have arrested 35 police officers accused of having links with one of the country's most powerful drug cartels, the Zetas.
The Zetas were set up in the 1990s by defectors from Mexico's special forces
The officers were arrested in operations in the eastern states of San Luis Potosi and Veracruz.
A turf war between the Zetas and rival criminal organisations in Veracruz has led to some of Mexico's worst massacres in recent years.
