    Cops find 5 bodies in rural area near Mexico City

    MEXICO CITY (AP) — A phone call to a relative of a missing person led police to excavate a corn field in a farming town not far from the capital, and discover the decomposed bodies of five people, authorities said Sunday.

    A man, who has not been identified, told the family of the disappeared person that 23 bodies were buried in a field at Almoloya de Juarez, a town about 60 miles from Mexico City, Mexico state attorney general's spokesman Alfredo Albiter said.

    The excavation ended Sunday, and the forensics team found only five bodies, Albiter said. The bodies hadn't yet been identified and he didn't know if the body of the missing person was in the grave.

    Mass graves have become an increasingly common discovery in Mexico's brutal drug war, which has claimed more than 35,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug traffickers in late 2006. Others put the dead toll at 40,000.

    Several Mexican regions have seen a surge in violence often related to the drug business.

    In the Pacific resort city of Acapulco, police found the decapitated body of a 25-year-old woman in the trunk of a sedan parked outside a home Sunday, Guerrero state police said. The motive for the crime were not clear.

    Elsewhere in Acapulco, three men were shot dead in two separate incidents and their bodies left in public view in residential neighborhoods.

      Why do we have to keep hearing about this? Do you report that five people died in a traffic accident in Mexico City?

      Will America be sending compensation to their families? I mean sending money, not more firearms.
      • Alvaro B 8 mths ago
        Uhhhhhh its Mexico city not New Mexico either way there is no compensation.
      • suzanne 8 mths ago
        Will Mexico send us compensation for all the Americans murdered and attacked and hurt by unlicesned drivers by illegal aliens from Mexico? Will Mexico compensate us for shelling out billions to pay for the hordes of Mexicans invading our country?

      I guess I know why the U.S.A didnt like Hitler because there could only be one country that is (a complete inadaptive to foreign people except for J.Lo & Salma Hayek) racist
      • No Yb 8 mths ago
        Prescott Bush had business relations with the Nazis so there are few in USA who liked Hitler.
      • 5JimBob 8 mths ago
        Lots of Americans had business relations with Nazis since most German business men joined the Nazi Party for "health" reasons.

        What do you have against Ytterbium?
      • Alvaro B 8 mths ago
        No not health reasons... terminal reasons, but even the Deutch today dont accept the Nazi books of (medical) experiments.
        Its good to know someone as intellect as I.

      I was thinking why.... (wayne root explained)......DID OBAMA VISIT PUERTO RICO SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I THOUGHT WELL ANOTHER VACATION,-----WRONG-----!!!!! more strategy being planned..
      Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
      -- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.

      Good Job American Druggies. And yes, if I ever need real work done I would take a Mexican anyday over a lazy, dope smoking, American who thinks the world owes him something.

      That's kind of like saying that the California Highawy Patrol wrote five speeding tickets this morning. Oh... were any of them killed by the guns that the ATF lost track of?

    • umakemelaugh  •  8 mths ago
      Probably shot with ATF Fast And Furious Guns. Not funny really. AG Holder lied, people died.

      Finish the wall. Guard it with robotic flame throwers. Anything that comes within 20 yards becomes a burnt offering. After a few offerings no more crossings. Post warning signs in English.
