26 Corpses Found in Guadalajara

(Guadalajara, Mexico) Yesterday morning, 26 bodies were found in three vehicles abandoned near the landmark Millennium Arches.

A threatening message from an alleged drug gang was left with the victims, who had been tied and gagged, sparking fears that Jalisco could become the focus of a new power struggle between rival criminal groups.

The bodies were discovered at 6.30 a.m., less than 24 hours after 17 charred corpses were found in two pickup trucks in a similar incident in Culiacan, Sinaloa.

One has to wonder whether any of the 'fast and furious' guns were used in the murders. Nevertheless, there doesn't seem to be any indication that Mexican law enforcement efforts are producing results. Bodies continue to pile up.
