Two car bombs exploded outside a TV station and a police offices in Ciudad Victoria where officials are investigating the brutal murders of 72 migrants from Central and South America. The bodies of 58 men and 14 women were found after a gun battle in Tamaulipas with suspected drug terrorists that left one marine and three suspects dead. Migrants are increasingly targeted by drug gangs for ransom. Officials say the area is controlled by Los Zetas, which has branched into kidnapping migrants. Photos show bodies lying along the walls of an abandoned warehouse, some blindfolded with their hands tied behind their back. Marines are protecting the funeral home where the bodies were taken after being discovered bound, blindfolded and slumped against a wall.
