The find appears to be the largest drug-cartel body dumping ground found in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug trafficking in 2006. Mexican drug cartels often use vacant lots or mine shafts to dump the bodies of executed rivals or kidnap victims. The Navy announced the discovery Wednesday, but did not give details on the victim's identities, who had killed them, or whether the bodies had been buried. It was also unclear whether the 58 men and 14 women had been killed at the same time, or separately. added by: Omnomynous
