President and friend of Mourino, nobody is more interested than me in the truth
and the cause of this incident," Calderon said.
"We are working and will work
with transparency and responsibility in order to inform Mexican People exactly
of what had happened," Calderon added.
He said that Mourino was "a great
intelligent man, loyal, promised with his ideals and passionate for

killing all nine people aboard, including Mourino and former anti-drug
prosecutor Jose Luis Santiago Vasconcelos, and five others on the
