AP/MARK STEVENSON/ After 2 days of digging, police have uncovered 51 corpses - 48 men and 3 women - in a field near a trash dump 12 miles outside Monterrey. There are so many bodies that officials used refrigerated trucks to hold them. "The majority of these bodies have tattoos of different types that could give us an indication about whether they belonged to one group or another and, among other things, determine whether they were linked to organized crime," said attorney general Alejandro Garza y Garza. Yet this gruesome discovery is still only the second largest mass grave found in recent years. In May in Taxco, a total of 55 bodies were recovered from an abandoned mine shaft.
