Map of Guadalajara, Mexico - at least 26 burned bodies have been found there in three abandoned vehicles
Human life in Mexico is little valued by the bloodthirsty criminals and drug cartels rampaging there.
In October, at least 32 bodies were found in Mexico — suspected drug gang members were arrested in connection to those murders. In September, dozens of dead bodies were found under a bridge in Veracruz, Mexico. The list of gruesome murders goes on and on.
The latest horror across our southern border has been this past week, with at least 26 shot, burned, and handcuffed bodies found in three abandoned vehicles in Guadalajara, Mexico. Authorities believe that many of the victims had been kidnapped.
Guadalajara is the second-largest city in Mexico.
This was reported when the death toll still stood at 24… from Fox News Latino, Number of bodies found in northwest Mexico rises to 24:
The number of bodies found in the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa has risen to 24, the Government Secretariat said.
Police found 17 charred bodies inside two vehicles in downtown Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa, on Wednesday, the secretariat said.
Four bodies were found a few hours later in Calomatillo, a town outside the city of Mocorito, and three bodies were discovered in the city of Salvador Alvarado.
Twelve bodies were found in Culiacan inside a Nissan SUV that had been torched, the Sinaloa state Attorney General’s Office said.
The municipal police and firefighters who pulled the bodies of the 11 men and one woman out of the vehicle found that wood had been piled on the cadavers, the AG’s office said.
The victims were handcuffed and some of them had been kidnapped in Angostura, a city in the northern part of the state, Sinaloa Attorney General Marco Antonio Higuera Gomez said.
An anonymous caller told police that a Ford Ranger SUV parked near a shopping center in the northern section of Culiacan contained more bodies.
Officers found five more burned bodies inside the pick-up truck, officials said.
The victims have not been identified, but the discovery of the bodies came in the wake of reports that nine people had been kidnapped in Angostura.
Drug cartels often kidnap people and dump their bodies somewhere a few days later without ever demanding ransom.
From CNN, 26 bodies found in western Mexico:
Guadalajara, Mexico (CNN) — Authorities found 26 bodies Thursday inside three abandoned vehicles in Guadalajara, Mexico, an official said.
All the victims were men, said Ulises Enríquez, a spokesman for the Jalisco delegation of the Attorney General’s Office.
The vehicles were discovered near a monument on one of the city’s main avenues, the state-run Notimex news agency reported, citing police sources.
Jalisco state Attorney General Tomas Coronado Olmos told CNN affiliate TV Azteca that a message was found with the bodies, but he did not disclose what it said.
In a Twitter post, Jalisco Gov. Emilio Gonzalez, a former mayor of Guadalajara, said he was “appalled and outraged” by the discovery, which came a day after authorities in Sinaloa state found 16 charred bodies inside two trucks that had been set ablaze.
Speaking about those bodies and also those found in Guadalajara, Mexico’s new interior minister promised to provide federal support.
“I would like to express our solidarity and support to the governments (of Jalisco and Sinaloa) and, in particular, let them know that the federal government will assist in investigating these cases, finding those responsible and making sure these crimes don’t go unpunished,” said Alejandro Poiré, who was sworn in last week.
From The Guardian, 26 bodies found in abandoned vehicles in Mexico:
Twenty-six bodies were discovered bound and gagged on Thursday in vehicles abandoned in the heart of Guadalajara, Mexico’s second-largest city and the site of the recent Pan American Games, officials said.
Best known as the home of mariachi music and tequila, this picturesque city has also been the historic base for methamphetamine trafficking by the powerful Sinaloa cartel. The cartel’s tight grip on the city was shattered by the death of its regional commander, Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel, in a shootout with federal police in July 2010.
Guadalajara’s murder rate then soared as factions of the cartel known as the New Generation and the Resistance battled to control Coronel’s territory and assets. Street battles have left hundreds dead in the city and surrounding areas.
Security officials have said they feared that the chaos could provide an opening for the Zetas drug cartel, which has been using paramilitary-style tactics and headline-grabbing atrocities in a national push to seize territory from older organized crime groups.

Because it gave a ‘false-impression’ of Mexico.
