CNN) -- At least 35 human bodies were found in a roadway during rush-hour traffic in the Mexican coastal state of Veracruz Tuesday, the state attorney general said.

Police in the eastern state found two trucks carrying the bodies near a shopping mall in the municipality of Boca del Rio, Attorney General Reynaldo Escobar Perez told CNNMexico.com.

Seven of the dead had been identified by Tuesday evening. A government database indicated that they had criminal backgrounds including extortion, homicide and drug trafficking, he said.

After blocking traffic, the two trucks were abandoned in the middle of the road. Their gates were left open, allowing bodies to fall out.

1. Such a cancer.....

These thugs and sick murderers are simply ruining the country of Mexico. I wish there was a simple answer...but there doesn't seem to be one. I just hope they are killing each other...and not the innocent citizen, tourist, whoever.

3. The police story seems to aim at making people discount the deaths

in the same way the Pentagon calls all dead people terrorists.

4. There is a simple answer: End the War on (some) Drugs

8. That would make way too much sense for our "brilliant" political class

:argh:

2. Seven identified so far were criminals?

Interesting "justice system".

5. At this rate soon there won't be anyone left in Mexico.

Between those fleeing the country and those getting killed, soon Mexico will be empty.

11. Well as they put it on the Pocho hour a few years ago they have all kinds of Mexicans

Honduran Mexicans! Guatamalen Mexicans! Panamanian Mexicans! Peruvian Mexicans!


Any body that has come from south of here is called a Mexican just goes to show the ignorance of those USA Americans!

6. Why don't the teabaggers flock there?

Guns everywhere, easily sidestepped laws, ineffectual local government, and true, might-makes-right unregulated, market-driven capitalism...

9. The body count just keeps climbing

:-(

12. horrible

13. One body tentatively ID-ed as missing police officer.

The Mexican press isn't exactly all over this, but I must say scrolling down to the comments on the Mexican sites that have this story, many are tasteless to say the least.

I get the idea their comment sections are being subjected to narcotraficante trolling. Que lastima.
