Bodies of 23 found in Mexico drug war - Gayo Lues
Police discovered 14 decapitated bodies in a vehicle in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, hours after nine bodies with signs of torture were found hanging from a bridge.
Police said that the heads belonging to the decapitated bodies were found in ice boxes dumped outside the mayor’s office.
Just across the border from the Texas city of Laredo, Nuevo Laredo is the scene of a bloody war between two of Mexico’s biggest drug gangs, the Zetas cartel and the powerful Sinaloa cartel, which has joined forces with the Gulf cartel, over the control of smuggling routes into the US.
A message left with the bodies indicated that the attacks may have been carried out by the Zetas cartel against the rival Gulf cartel.
More than 50,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched a crackdown on criminal gangs in late 2006.
