- Is there no end to the dark doings of Jose Antonio Zorrilla
- Perez? Last month the former head of the powerful Federal
- Security Directorate was arrested in Mexico as a suspect in the
- 1984 assassination of journalist Manuel Buendia. Now a U.S.
- grand jury is investigating allegations that Zorrilla was also
- involved in the death of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
- agent Enrique Camarena Salazar in 1985. According to DEA
- informants, Zorrilla knew in advance of Camarena's kidnaping.
- One source added that Camarena's interrogator was in direct
- contact with Zorrilla. If proved, the allegations would support
- the theory that Camarena's murder was approved at the highest
- levels of the government.
