CENTRAL AMERICA: Mexico's Dead Migrant Body Count Is... Just Beginning.

AP/ DIEGO MENDEZ /      Hundreds of people visited Central American governmental offices after news of the massacre of 72 migrants in Mexico, looking for missing relatives who had left hoping to reach the U.S. Some 21 bodies have been identified as Hondurans, 19 are of other nationalities, and 32... are unidentified.
"The true number of undocumented migrants killed in Mexico in recent years may never be known, but they would almost certainly dwarf the number discovered last week. Mexico's National Human Rights Commission said there were witness accounts of 198 mass kidnappings involving 9,758 migrants in a six month-period in 2009."
