Drug gang hangs three bodies from bridges in Mexico

The bodies of three men, all of them with
signs of torture, were hung in public view in the early hours of
Tuesday in the city of Cuernavaca, the latest atrocities in Mexico's
drug wars, dpa reported.
The so-called "city of eternal spring," some 90 kilometres south
of Mexico City, is the object of heavy fighting between drug gangs
keen to control the distribution and sale of narcotics in central
Mexico. Federal forces killed drug lord Arturo Beltran Leyva there
last year.
Two of the bodies were hung from an overhead road crossing
opposite one of the city's main shopping centres, while the
other was hung from a bridge over the Mexico-Acapulco highway.
Police said messages had been found by the bodies, although their
content was not made public.
