Reports: Three beheaded bodies found in Mexico

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
The decapitated bodies of three men were found on a road Thursday in a western Mexican state plagued by drug violence, local media reported. The heads were found in sacks nearby. Beheadings have become a common intimidation tactic in territorial battles between Mexico's powerful drug cartels. Decapitated bodies are often dumped in public, sometimes with threatening messages. Police found the three bodies with their hands bound in El Huajote, a town in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa, Mexican newspapers Reforma and El Universal reported, citing the state Attorney General's office. Nobody at the office could be reached Thursday evening to confirm the reports, which cited no suspects or motives.
