ACAPULCO, Mexico -- Police on Wednesday discovered two human heads in a
backpack in the Pacific state of Guerrero, the latest decapitation
victims in a continuing wave of violence in Mexico.
Guerrero Attorney General Eduardo Murueta said authorities are
investigating whether the heads found in Altamirano belong to two men
who went missing Tuesday in bordering Michoacan state.
Both Michoacan and Guerrero have been hit by a wave of violence
including killings, beheadings and grenade attacks that police blame on
a turf war between rival drug gangs fighting over smuggling routes and
street corner dealing.
In the last few months, police have found more than a dozen decapitation
victims in Guerrero, Michoacan, Baja California and the northern
industrial city of Monterrey.
