35 bodies found in Mexican roadway during rush hour

[Rainman]

Mexico City (CNN) -- At least 35 human bodies were found in a roadway during rush-hour traffic in the Mexican coastal state of Veracruz Tuesday, the state attorney general said.

Police in the eastern state found two trucks carrying the bodies near a shopping mall in the municipality of Boca del Rio, Attorney General Reynaldo Escobar Perez said.

¨An event like this is unprecedented," he said. ¨It hasn´t happened before in the state of Veracruz.¨

Seven of the dead had been identified by Tuesday evening. A government database indicated that they had criminal backgrounds including extortion, homicide and drug trafficking, he said.
Bodies a warning to Mexico bloggers

The dead included 12 women and 23 men. Their bodies showed signs of violence, Escobar said, without providing further details.

After blocking traffic, the two trucks were abandoned in the middle of the road, witnesses said. Their gates were left open, allowing bodies to fall out.

Hours later, blood stains remained on the road as troops stood guard.

Boca del Rio is in Veracruz state´s most populated area. It has become a frequent site of clashes between armed groups as drug-related violence grows.

Authorities were combing the area in search of suspects, police said in a Twitter post.

They were also beefing up security along the state´s borders, Escobar said.

Earlier Tuesday, 32 inmates escaped from three prisons in Veracruz, authorities said. At least 14 of them had been apprehended by Tuesday night.

Escobar said none of the bodies that had been identified by Tuesday night appeared connected with the prison breaks.

After the bodies were found, Mexico´s interior minister called the state´s governor to offer his support, the state-run Notimex news agency reported.

Mexico disbands Veracruz-Boca del Rio police force




An entire municipal police force in Mexico has been disbanded as part of a campaign to root out corruption and improve security in the face of drug-related violence.

More than 900 officers in Veracruz-Boca del Rio are losing their jobs.

The Mexican navy is taking over responsibility for law enforcement.

The move comes three months after 35 bodies were found dumped on a main road in the municipality, which includes part of the city of Veracruz.

Navy troops backed by federal police officers took control of local police buildings and were patrolling the streets.

Veracruz state governor Javier Duarte de Ochoa said the decision to disband the force was part of a national programme to reform the police.

"All those who belong to the now defunct Veracruz-Boca del Rio force can join the police again once they have past the tests of trustworthiness demanded by the national system of public security," he said.


He did not say how long the navy would be in charge of policing the municipality, which is home to around 600,000 people and includes wealthy residential districts and popular tourist areas.

Turf war
Hundreds of marines had already been deployed in Veracruz-Boca del Rio after 35 bodies were dumped on busy road in the middle of the day in September.

Two weeks later the navy found another 32 bodies in three different buildings.

The killings are thought to be the result of a battle for control of drug-trafficking routes between two of Mexico's most powerful drugs gangs - the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel.

The armed forces and federal police have taken over security in a growing number of municipalities across Mexico because local police have been unable to cope with the power of the drugs gangs.

Corruption and infiltration of the police by criminals are among the biggest challenges Mexico faces in its fight against the cartels, says the BBC's Ignacio de los Reyes in Mexico City.
