Cartels hang nine bodies from bridge in Mexico as gang violence surges
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Authorities located 10 bodies, including nine that were left hanging from a bridge in Zacatecas, Mexico, on Thursday morning

  • A Zacatecas state official said the incident in the city of Cuauhtémoc was most likely tied to ongoing feuds between criminal factions

  • Some of the victims found hanging from the bridge were allegedly residents of the Zacatecas town of Cuauhtémoc

  • No arrests had been reported as of Thursday afternoon
Gang-related violence in some parts of Mexico has intensified recently, including in the popular tourist zones of Quintana Roo state.

As of September, 21,495 people had died from violence linked to criminal organizations this year, an average of almost 2,400 per month, according to the government.

#3 I was just in Nuevo Progreso earlier this week. No issues at all. Lots (!!!) of dentists and pharmacies. Apparently it is not an important enough crossing for the cartels to find worth fighting over, so whoever has control just lets things ride.
