| Subject: Blame the drug laws: Mexico police find 49 bodies Sun May 13, 2012 7:50 pm | |
| The killings appear to be the latest in a string of brutal murders linked to a continuing conflict between rival drugs gangs
Forty-nine mutilated bodies have been found dumped by a roadside near the city of Monterrey in northern Mexico.
Security officials said the 43 men and six women had been decapitated and had their hands cut off, making identification difficult.
They blamed the killings on a conflict between rival drugs gangs - a note left with the bodies said they had been killed by the Zetas cartel.
It is the latest in a series of recent massacres in northern Mexico.
The Zetas have been fighting the Gulf and Sinaloa cartels for control of smuggling routes into the US.
