ACAPULCO, Mexico – In another grisly turn in Mexico's drug war, police have recovered 18 bodies from a mass grave announced in a YouTube posting — a video saying the victims were from a tourist group kidnapped in Acapulco a month ago.
Authorities said they would resume their search Thursday for more remains at the burial site in Tres Palos, a town just south of the Pacific resort city.
Police did not yet know if the bodies found were from the 20 men abducted at gunpoint September 30 while visiting Acapulco from neighboring Michoacan state, Fernando Monreal, investigative police chief for Guerrero state, said Wednesday night.
Officers began digging at the site early Wednesday after receiving an anonymous phone call alerting them to 2 bodies dumped on an empty lot.
