56 bodies exhumed from mass graves in northern Mexico
Fifty-six bodies have been discovered in unmarked mass graves in Chihuahua, near the US border. The region, controlled by the La Linea cartel, is notorious for drug and arms trafficking.
Authorities have exhumed skeletal remains, clothing and bullet casings in an operation supported by the military. Forensic experts are working to identify the victims and determine the causes of death.
The tragic revelation highlights the cartel's violence in Mexico, which has seen more than 450,000 murders since the 2006 anti-cartel offensive. Source: Vanguard News.
