DRUG WAR CLAIMS MORE VICTIMS AS POLICE FIND 17 BODIES
Mexico City - Police found 17 bodies stuffed in cars or dumped on streets in
garbage bags across Mexico on Monday in the latest wave of violence
apparently triggered by warring drug gangs.
Federal investigators say the Sinaloa cartel is fighting a bloody
turf war with the Gulf Cartel and their army of enforcers known as
the Zetas over billion-dollar drug trafficking routes to the United States.
According to a tally kept by Mexico City daily El Universal there
have been more than 700 drug slayings since January.
