Indignation over the apparent killings of 43 college students, blamed on a drug gang working with police and a mayor, led demonstrators to take to the streets and block the airport in the resort city of Acapulco.
Protesters armed with machetes were confronted by Federal Police with shields who briefly stopped their advance before allowing them to block roads to the airport for hours before withdrawing, according to Milenio TV. Energy ministers from 15 nations are set to begin a conference in the Pacific resort city today.
