Relatives take over Mexican mine where 65 died

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Relatives of dozens of miners killed in a 2006 explosion took over the abandoned mine Thursday in northern Mexico. The group says it is launching its own search for remains of the 63 miners still missing after the Mexican government stopped looking in March. The search was halted after officials said built-up gas inside the mine made it too dangerous to justify recovering the remains. It was unclear how the group intends to reach the remains without causing another explosion.
