   Two women walk next to members of Mexican Navy in Boca del Rio,
   Veracruz State. Another 32 bodies have been found in three homes in
   Mexico's eastern state of Veracruz, where dozens of corpses were dumped
   on a road in broad daylight last month, the navy said October 6, 2011.

   The Mexican navy says 32 bodies have been discovered in the eastern
   state of Veracruz, where dozens of bodies were dumped on a road in
   broad daylight just last month.
   The bodies were found Thursday in three houses in the Gulf coast
   seaport, which has become the latest focal point of the country's
   brutally violent drug war.
   Authorities suspect the violent Zetas drug cartel is responsible for
   [1]last month's discovery of 35 bodies that were found littered on a
   main avenue in Veracruz.
   President Felipe Calderon has deployed federal police and security
   forces to Veracruz.
   More than 40,000 people have been killed in Mexico since Mr. Calderon
   launched a military crackdown on illegal drug activity in 2006.

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