60 Bodies Found in Mass Graves in Mexico's Guanajuato State
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Mexico, nearly 60 bodies have been found in clandestine mass graves
in the state of Guanajuato. Officials with the National Search Committee
say most of the bodies belong to young people, including teens. Violence
has skyrocketed in Guanajuato due to wars between drug cartels. Since
the Mexican government launched its war on drugs in 2006, about 250,000
people have been killed, nearly 40,000 are still missing, and over 3,000
clandestine graves have been discovered.
