Tweet
The New York Times: Guards at a Mexican prison stood by nonchalantly as 53 inmates, many of them suspected members of drug gangs, walked out — and that the guards did not rush into action with their guns drawn until well after the convoy of escape vehicles had disappeared.
UPDATE From Brisbane Times: A top Mexican security official has resigned after the release of security camera footage showing 53 dangerous criminals had walked out of a jail as prison guards stood by.
Alejando Rojas Chalico, the public security minister of Zacatecas, stood down six days after an armed commando dressed in police uniforms broke into a prison in the northern state on Saturday and released 53 inmates, the state government said on Friday.
