Days of violence continue in Mexico

MEXICO CITY - Authorities in Mexico’s Baja California Sur state say two heads have been found in a cooler just two blocks from the tourist zone of Cabo San Lucas.

One day earlier, the state prosecutor’s office announced that two dismembered bodies were found in another cooler in the tourist corridor.
