Parents and relatives of the 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa’s teacher training college, hold images of the missing students, during a massive march in Mexico City, Mexico on November 20, 2014. Caravans of students and family members of 43 missing Ayotzinapa’s students converged on the capital after several days crisscrossing the country. Parents of the 43 missing students still do not believe the official line that the young men are all dead. Criticism of the government has intensified in Mexico and the country has been convulsed by protests. Many are demanding justice and that the search for the 43 missing students continue until there is concrete evidence to the contrary. Mexico officially lists more than 20 thousand people as having gone missing since the start of the country's drug war in 2006, and the search for the missing students has turned up other, unrelated mass graves. (Photo by Bénédicte Desrus/Sipa USA) MORE LESS

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican official says at least one of 43 missing college students has been identified among charred remains found near a garbage dump.

The official says he cannot provide details on how many individuals have been identified.

He agreed to release the information only if granted anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
