(AP) - Fourteen former federal police officers have gone on trial on charges of using excessive force in a 2012 shooting attack that wounded two CIA agents, Mexico's national security commissioner said Wednesday.
Monte Alejandro Rubido said there was no evidence the police officers had acted on orders from an organized crime gang, saying the attack on the diplomatic vehicle was a case of mistaken identity.
"We identified the motive in the attack and it was a regrettable error on the part of the people there," Rubido told reporters. "The only legal evidence the investigation found was the use of excessive force on the part of the colleagues in the federal police."
He did not say when the trial process began for the defendants, who he said were being held in jail. Trials in Mexico are not public and can last for years.
Mexican officials have long said the federal police group was investigating a kidnapping when it encountered the U.S. agents and a Mexican marine captain and opened fire on their U.S. Embassy armored SUV. Officials say the plainclothes officers reported they thought they were pursuing kidnappers on a rural road.

Illegal mexicans have rights in the US, and US citizens in mexico, even via passport or visa have no rights or protection at all. That’s what you get when visiting or vacationing in a third world narco-fascist nation like mexico.
To hell with the CIA agents, how's the SUV doing?!?!?
In my humble opinion, we should declare all out war on Mexico. After we get that $hit hole cleaned and install a representative government 95% of our problems would be over. Of course I wouldn’t want the Zero doing that. Patton to conduct the campaign then MacArthur, or Eisenhower to conduct the peace. Just dreaming...
