MEXICO: Fishermen rescued in Pacific face drugs trafficking investigation

Three Mexican fisherman who drifted across the Pacific for months in a small fishing boat before finally being rescued are to face an investigation for possible links to drugs trafficking. In November 2005 the crew left home in San Blas to fish for sharks but got pushed off course. After nine months adrift a trawler picked them up near the Marshall Islands five thousand miles from home.
