In an appearance before the Mexican Senate, Gen. Clemente announced the detention of five Guatemalan nationals in Chiapas state earlier this month on arms and immigration law violations. The defense secretary said a probe was underway examining possible links between the men ”” all reputed to be members or ex-members of the Guatemalan army’s counterinsurgency unit known as the Kabiles ”” and Los Zetas, the heavily armed enforcers of Mexico’s Tamaulipas-based Gulf Cartel.
