MEXICO CITY — Federal authorities said Saturday that they will take over the investigation into the massacre of 72 migrants at a ranch in northern Mexico because evidence suggests drug traffickers were responsible.

Government security spokesman Alejandro Poire said drug-cartel involvement would make the killings a federal crime.

They also said an Ecuadorean migrant who was the lone survivor has refused Mexico’s offer of a humanitarian visa and will return to his native country.
