MORELIA, Mexico — Police searched Wednesday for a tall, heavyset man using a composite sketch provided by witnesses who saw him lob a grenade into an Independence Day crowd, then beg for forgiveness before slipping away.

Local officials and the U.S. ambassador insisted Mexico’s warring drug cartels were behind the attack, which killed seven people Monday night and injured 108, but federal prosecutors said they did not have enough evidence yet to link the attack to organized crime.

In Atlanta, U.S. authorities announced the arrests of more than 500 alleged members of Mexico’s violent Gulf Cartel.
