MEXICO CITY, Dec. 9 (Xinhuanet) -- Two alleged kidnappers were arrested and three kidnapping victims rescued when police on Friday raided a house on the outskirts of Mexico City, the country's capital.

    The raid was made in the morning by the Federal Agency of Investigation, an organ similar to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

    The detainees include Israel Vallarta, a Mexican and Marie Louise Cassez Florence, a French woman, the Federal Attorney General's Office confirmed in a news release.

    The office said the two suspects were members of "Zodiac", a gang involved in at least 10 abductions and one murder.

    The victims, a man, a woman and her 8-year-old daughter, all abducted on the outskirts of Mexico City, had been held for more than two months.

    Mexico has become this year's world leader in reported abductions, surpassing Colombia, according to Mexico's Citizen Council for Public Safety, a private-sector think tank. Enditem
