The relatives of 43 missing college students hold posters of their loved ones during a protest Thursday outside Germany's embassy in Mexico City. Demonstrators say German arms manufacturers exported rifles to a corrupt local police department implicated in the disappearance of the students. The police of Iguala, Mexico, are accused of detaining the students on Sept. 26 and turning them over to a drug gang, which apparently killed them.
