According to Mexico's La Jornada en Linea, by Wednesday, April 13, the death toll has reached 126 as officials found 13 more victims as they spent the week exhuming bodies from mass graves. The shallow graves were found in the northwestern part of the state of Sinaloa. Forensic experts indicated that the latest victims had been shot execution-style about five or six months ago.
The Mexican government blamed the Zetas cartel who is reported to be one of the most ruthless in the country. A prosecution source indicated that messages authored by Zetas were found on the site, together with messages from members of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel. Mexican authorities have arrested 17 people in connection to the murders, and believe that cartel gunmen dragged the victims off buses passing through the San Fernando area of the state.
