Fifty-nine bodies have been found buried in a series of pits in the northern Mexico state of Tamaulipas, near the site where suspected drug gang members massacred 72 migrants last summer, officials said.
Security forces investigating reports that a passenger bus had been hijacked in the area conducted a raid that netted 11 suspected kidnappers and freed five kidnap victims.
Then they made a grisly discovery – a total of eight pits, containing a total of 59 corpses. One of the pits held 43 dead.
This is the kind of violence that is crossing the US border.
