Suspected drug traffickers dressed as policemen gained entry into the Zacatecas state prison and released 53 prisoners, many of whom were gunmen for some of Mexico's biggest cartels, without firing a single shot. By Sunday, authorities had viewed the security camera tapes and declared this an inside job. Zacatecas state governor Amalia Garcia stated, ""It is clear to us that this was perfectly planned" and that guards were bought off.
