MEXICO CITY (AP) " Prosecutors in Mexico say they have seized 13 pounds (6.2 kilograms) of heroin that was headed for the United States. That's the city where officials say police in league with drug gangs kidnapped and killed more than 40 teachers' college students. Guerrero state is a main producer of opium paste. The Attorney General's Office says the heroin was found in a hidden compartment of a car near the city of Iguala, Guerrero. The office says in a statement Sunday that the purified heroin " known as China white " was being transported from the Guerrero state capital of Chilpancingo.
