Chihuahua: Mexican Federal Police Detachment Withdraws -- UPDATED
Google Translate from a variety of web sources. Updated with a definitive count of the evacuees, the type of aircraft used and a confirmation of troop rotation
About 200 Mexican Federal Police were evacuated from Juarez early Sunday morning, according to Mexican news accounts.

News organizations in Juarez report that federal agents, many with backpacks and some in civilian clothes were seen loading aboard several official Federal Police transport aircraft Sunday morning.

A mutiny by several Mexican Federal agents Saturday ended when four top commanders of the Juarez detachment were relieved of command and ordered to Mexico City for investigation of alleged criminal conduct.

The Juarez detachment has been under tremendous strain because of a series of armed assaults against them starting with the July 16 Juarez car bomb which killed one agent and three others. The most recent attacks happened last Sunday through yesterday where a total of two agents were murdered and eight others were wounded in a series of ambushes.

The Mexican news daily La Polaka reports the agents were being rotated out and replaced with new agents.
