Mass Grave Toll Grows in Mexico 
--------------------------------



The toll of murder victims buried in a number of mass graves in northern
Mexico has risen with fears of many more dead. Mexican authorities say
the Zeta cartel murdered and buried 116 people in a northeastern state
roughly 100 miles south of the Texas border. Mexican media reports 128
bodies have been found and local residents say the real death toll is
much higher.
