ACAPULCO, Mexico — Investigators searching clandestine graves have found 32 bodies and nine human heads in southern Mexico, authorities said Thursday.

Rival drug gangs have been engaged in a wave of extortion, kidnappings and turf battles in the area.

Soldiers and police found the graves on Tuesday in Guerrero state after receiving a tip that people were being held at the site located near a mountain in the municipality of Zitlala. They said they rescued a kidnap victim and discovered 12 bodies and human remains in coolers.

On Thursday, officials announced that further excavations of the site had found a total of 32 bodies and nine human heads.​

I wonder if this has to do with the busloads of missing students: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...dead-26-Sept-2014-*Arrest*&highlight=Guerrero

sounds like cartel activity

the story I read about the missing student sounds like a freakin war in town! wow

 

[cvaldez1975]

ok to expand. the story says its a tradition for the student to commandeer the busses and ti is usually tolerated. maybe the cartel had some business going on and did not want the attn drawn to the area? maybe it was as simple as making a point that THEY run the town not the students? idk but what a bloody mess.
