CBC News - Fifty-nine bodies were found buried Wednesday in a series of pits in the northern Mexico state of Tamaulipas, near the site where suspected drug gang members massacred 72 migrants last summer, officials said. The discovery came as thousands of demonstrators thronged major Mexican cities to protest drug violence, including some who thought the government bore some responsibility for the bloodshed.
