« on: March 14, 2009, 10:45:05 pm »CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico – Police acting on a tip found seven bodies partially buried in the desert on the outskirts of the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, an official said Saturday.
Investigators are searching the desert site south of the city to see whether there are any more bodies.
An official with the state prosecutor's office who declined to be named in line with department policy says a police officer's badge was found at the site. Authorities were working to identify the bodies.
Ciudad Juarez, a city of 1.3 million people across the border from El Paso, Texas, has been hit by a wave of drug-fueled violence, prompting federal authorities to dispatch thousands of soldiers.
There is more to this story.

Another word to those planning to visit Ciudad Juarez during a stopover in El Paso. Hundreds of women have been murdered there in a relatively short space of time. Some killers have been caught, and others are still roaming free, but the fact is hundreds have been murdered with their bodies dumped in many different areas. There should be information about this on the web. The watchword is caution.
