New use for ice-boxes in Mexico's drug war

MEXICAN prosecutors said three heads were found in an ice-box south of the city of Ciudad Juarez. The local prosecutor's office says the heads have not been identified, but six police officers are missing. Mexico's drug war has brought a surge in violence, with more than 5,300 gang killings reported in 2008 alone.

De los sucesos reportados ayer en Durango, las autoridades dijeron que cuatro cabezas fueron dejadas en la carretera Durango-Zacatecas, frente a la Dirección de Seguridad Pública Municipal, con un mensaje que alude a autoridades “coludidas” de las procuradurías estatal y federal.
