http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2011/04/san-fernando-massacre-victims-may-be.htmlMexican security forces searching for abducted bus passengers in Tamaulipas have stumbled on a collection of pits holding a total of 59 bodies. Authorities said the first victims to be identified are Mexicans, not migrants from other countries headed to the U.S.
Investigators made the grisly find early Wednesday near the ranch where drug cartel gunmen less than a year ago massacred 72 migrants from Central and South America.
Tamaulipas state investigators and federal authorities went to the site about 80 miles south of Brownsville to investigate reports that gunmen had begun stopping buses and pulling off some passengers in the area.
UPDATE: Several narco blogs are reporting a minimum of 75 bodies recovered yesterday as well as a continuation in search efforts after authorities found clothing of both children thrown in the graves, but no bodies.
It is also being reported on blogs that the bodies found showed no signs of gunshot wounds; the victims are said to have been bludgeoned to death with sledgehammers.
This information has NOT been confirmed by authorities.
