Mass Graves In Mexico

It is hard to forget the brutish aftermath of Mexico's ongoing drug war. Yet another mass grave has been uncovered in northern Mexico with at least 59 bodies. It is thought that these are a portion of the 72 migrants who were massacred by a drug gang known as Zetas this past summer. The victims were comprised of illegal immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Ecuador and Brazil. This ongoing war has reported taken the lives of more than 34,000 innocent civilians since the Mexican government established progressive legislation to aggressively combat the extensive amounts of drugs being processed through Mexico. However the end of this bloody conflict has no immediate in sight.
