Killed Drug Agent's Body Returns Home Amid Questions
In Guadalajara, Mexico, the body of slain U S drug agent Enrique Camarena Salazar arrives in California with military honors.

A separate Tamaulipas case leads to charges against two men tied to a police base attack and a tanker driver may have fled across the border.
