CIUDAD JUAREZ (AFP) - Thirty five people were killed in Mexico's drug-related violence on Friday, with brutal attacks spanning five states, officials said.
In the southern state of Guerrero, home to the sea-side resort of Acapulco, police discovered 10 bodies in six different locations, and all had messages attached, security officials said.
"This is what is going to happen to all the rats, kidnappers and extortionists," read one message signed by the "boss of bosses."
In the center of the country, in the small town of Ciudad Ayala, another six bodies were discovered, also signed by the "boss of bosses."
In nearby Mexico state, seven men were victims of an execution-style killings. Four of the bodies were found in the back of a van and three were found at the roadside wrapped in a blanket.
In Tijuana, near the US border, a civil servant was found hanging from a bridge. The man, a vehicle licensing official, was tortured according to a local rescue worker, who asked not to be named.
"He was badly beaten, and they mutilated his genitals, that were hanging round his neck... His head was bound with adhesive tape," the worker said.
Two more men were killed around the border region, which has been the epicenter of Mexico's bloody drug wars.
The government has deployed some 50,000 soldiers across the country to confront the cartels, whose fierce drug wars have claimed over 14,000 lives since 2006.
The world we live in is getting uglier and uglier.
