   Investigators  in Mexico have recovered at least 18 bodies from a mass
   grave near the Pacific coast resort city of Acapulco.
   Authorities do not yet know if the bodies found in the grave are those
   of  the  20  men  abducted  last  month  while  visiting Acapulco from
   neighboring Michoacan state.
   Police  began  digging  at  the site after receiving an anonymous tip,
   which led them to discover two bodies nearby.
   An  eruption  of  suspected  drug  violence  has left more than 28,000
   people  dead across Mexico since the government began cracking down on
   cartels in 2006.
   Meanwhile,  U.S. officials said they have discovered a tunnel used for
   drug  smuggling  across the California-Mexico border. Authorities said
   they  seized 20 tons of marijuana at a site near the tunnel, which ran
   more than 500 meters underground from Mexico to Otay Mesa, California.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
