6 more bodies in Mexican border pits; total at 183


MEXICO CITY – Security forces have unearthed six more bodies in a northeastern Mexican border state where a drug gang is believed to be kidnapping passengers from buses and hiding their victims in secret graves, authorities said Tuesday. A total of 183 bodies have been discovered in a month in 40 graves.


Meanwhile, a different search over the last month in the capital of northwestern Durango state has yielded 96 bodies in two mass graves. State investigators led by federal agents have exhumed 79 bodies in a car repair shop of a working-class neighborhood of Durango city. A number of mass graves have been discovered over the past in areas of Mexico where drug gang turf wars have been the fiercest. Associated Press
