The disintegration of the Mexican government and political system raises a few questions - do the narcos know they are slow close to the end of the Mexican government. Do they know they control the future of Mexico. Is it intentional or a by-product of a last attempt at relevancy by the 'elected' government of Mexico. The headline says 15, but reading you find it was 19 total for that weekend. Would be unfortunate if that were the total number killed across Mexico, but that is for one city.
Fifteen bodies found in Mexico tourist city: report
11:46am EST
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Fifteen bodies, all but one of them decapitated, were found early on Saturday in the Pacific resort city of Acapulco, local media reported.
The victims, all male, were discovered at dawn near a shopping mall along with several, threatening hand-written messages that are typically left as a calling card by drug cartels.
The tourist destination of Acapulco has been plagued in recent years with drug violence as the country's cartels fight for drug transport routes.
A burned-out truck and four other destroyed vehicles were found near the bodies. Four other murder victims were found in other parts of the city in separate incidents, local media reported.
More than 30,000 people have been killed in Mexico since late 2006 when President Felipe Calderon mobilized the army and other security services to confront drug traffickers who supply the United States.
