Not since Adolf Hitler and the Nazis have we heard of mass killings in ovens.  But former mayor of Allende, Coahuila, Sergio Alonzo Rodriguez has been arrested and charged with  aggravated kidnapping.  The charges are part of the complaint against the  Los Zetas drug cartel.  It is believed that as many as 300 people were kidnapped, murdered and then incinerated in ovens.

The San Antonio Express-News reported:

Details of the massacre have come out in a series of trials in Austin and San Antonio federal courts. This summer, a jury in San Antonio found a Zetas middle manager guilty of several drug crimes, including taking part in the Allende Massacre.

Coahuila officials said they arrested former Mayor Sergio Alonso Lozano Rodríguez Thursday morning at his home in Allende on charges of aggravated kidnapping.

State prosecutors said Lozano was the mayor in March 2011 when members of the Zetas rounded up and slaughtered family members and associates of a crew of traffickers who’d defected to the U.S. State officials say 23 people were killed over two days, but witnesses in the Austin and San Antonio trials testified that many more were killed in Allende and the surrounding areas.
