The blood bath continues in Mexico, as the Army continues it’s crackdown on drug dealing organizations. The violence Tuesday reached out to elected leaders when drug traffickers carried out a threat by killing the mayor of the town of Namiquipa in central Chihuahua.

All told a dozen homicides occurred Monday, and at least 11 murders were committed as of Tuesday evening, including a man with press credentials. Tuesday, the body of a man was found in the trunk of a car with Texas plates after residents reported the stench of the decomposing body. The man’s head was covered with medical bandages, and his hands were bound behind his back. So far this year there have been about 1,000 murders.
