theweaselkingMexican police hunt for lynch mob that killed two undercover police officers
Hundreds of police and federal agents raided a Mexico City suburb on Wednesday night after two officers were killed by an angry crowd.
More than 30 people were reportedly held after police with pictures taken in the attack went from house to house.
They are also investigating why the two men were not rescued - despite live TV coverage of Tuesday's events.
The two plain-clothes officers were burned alive after locals apparently mistook them for child kidnappers.
A third policeman who was finally rescued by colleagues - three and a half hours after the attack began - suffered serious injuries and is said to be in a critical condition.
