     NEW!!!  WEEKEND WRAP-UP:  9 bodies found on Nayarit highway; 3 decapitated and 2 dismembered bodies found in Acapulco.

     In Acapulco, taxi and bus drivers are under attack. At least 13 have been killed in the past 4 days.
     An official says that there are attacks on drivers because "organized crime gangs identify them as informants for the cartel that operates in this city"...in the narco war for control of routes.
     Nearly 2 dozen Acapulco gas stations closed for 6 hours...to protest the growing number of murders, kidnappings, extortions and holdups in their Pemex stations.
