Drug Violence Spreads to New Areas of Mexico

HeadlineSep 23, 2011

Drug violence is spreading to new areas of Mexico. Earlier this week, 35 corpses were dumped on a street in the port city of Vera Cruz, which had previously been considered a haven from the cartel wars that have killed over 40,000 people since 2006. The bodies, which included 12 women and two minors, were dumped semi-nude and bound during rush hour.
