Police free 51 abducted in Mexico

Mexican police on Monday freed 51 people who had been kidnapped in the northeast of the country, including 18 Central American and six Chinese migrant workers, the public security ministry said.
The raid on a building in the northeastern town of Reynosa near the US border -- where rival drug cartels battle it out for lucrative trade routes to the north -- uncovered 14 Guatemalans, two Hondurans and two Salvadorans.
The other 27 detainees were Mexicans, the ministry said in a statement.
The statement did not mention any arrests during the operation.
Earlier this month police freed 68 kidnapped individuals, including 12 Central American migrants, in Reynosa.
Four policemen were detained on Monday in connection with the earlier release. Those who were rescued said they had been kidnapped when gunmen from the Gulf drug cartel hijacked the buses they were traveling on.
Reynosa is around 160 km away from the town of San Fernando, where police earlier unearthed 177 bodies .
