DOZENS OF BODIES FOUND IN CLANDESTINE GRAVES

Investigators searching clandestine graves have found 32 bodies and nine human heads in the southern Mexico state of Guerrero.

The grisly discoveries came in the municipality of Zitlala, where a drug gang had set up a rural camp where it held kidnap victims and disposed of its victims’ bodies.

When a joint military- police patrol happened on the camp earlier this week, it found a kidnapped man and what appeared to be clandestine burial pits.

The area has been the scene of turf battles between two rival drug gangs — the Rojos and the Ardillos — who engage in extortion, kidnappings and killings. But in recent weeks the violence has spread to other areas, apparently as a result of turf battles between two or three other gangs.

Investigators were working to identify the bodies and the killers.
