Police found six charred bodies, one still on fire, dumped on a street in the northern Mexican city of Tijuana today, in the latest brutal killing on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Tijuana is one of the most gruesome fronts in Mexico's three-way war between rival drug cartels and security forces, as Mexico's most-wanted man Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman tries to wrestle control of smuggling routes into California from the city's long dominant Arellano Felix cartel.

Following two months of relative quiet in Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California, drug murders and kidnappings are rising again. Shootouts between drug gangs have killed some 300 people in the city this year, making up a chunk of the more than 1,700 drug murder victims across Mexico since the start of 2008.

Today's burnt bodies were found two days after suspected drug hitmen in southern Mexico dumped a severed human head inside a black bag in the tourist city of Oaxaca, along with a threatening message for Mexican law enforcement.
