Police report that a suspect in the kidnapping and murder of bus passengers has led them to more clandestine graves thatcontained 16 corpses...bringing the total of bodies...so far...to 88.
Police say one corpse may belong to a missing U.S. citizen believed to have been on one of the buses.
Earlier 13 bodies were found in 2 graves, aka "narcofosas clandestinas", in San Fernando county, Tamaulipas state, not far from where 72 central american migrants were discovered murdered on 24 August 2010.
Police stumbled upon the first graves with 59 bodies during an investigation of a 25 March abduction of bus passengers.
Seventeen passengers on an Omnibus de Mexico bus headed for the USA disappeared while in northern Mexico.
The grave sites are about 80 miles from the Brownsville, Texas border.
The police will continue the search for more graves.
AND: Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna says that narco gangs are recruiting common criminals and rapidly promoting them to hit men. The narcos now concentrate on employing on low-level lawbreakers like street drug dealers and robbers. A new recruit can now become a hit man in a month, instead of 15 years.
