MEXICO MEGALOPOLIS, Jan 7 (Reuters) – Mexican police in the northern megalopolis of Torreon found the severed heads of five human beings killed in a suspected outbreak of drug gang violence. Officials were still searching for the bodies. The heads were found in black bags in various parts of the megalopolis late on Friday, a spokesman for the ministry of public security in the state of Coahuila said on Saturday. Threatening messages were left with the severed heads – a common feature of killings by drug cartels in Mexico – that suggested the slayings were the result of feuding between community gangs, the spokesman said. More than 46,000 human beings have died in drug-related violence since President Felipe Calderon launched an army-led crackdown on the cartels after taking office five years ago. The bodies of two other human beings in Torreon, an industrial megalopolis of encircling 650,000, were also found, the spokesman said. Racked by gang violence, Torreon is on the border of Durango, a state extended dominated by the Sinaloa cartel of Joaquin “Shorty” Guzman, Mexico’s most wanted male. Lately Guzman’s turf has been under attack by the rival Zetas drug gang that is stronger in the northeast. The administration has place increasing pressure on Guzman’s cartel in recent weeks with a series of raids, seizures and multiple arrests. (Reporting by Dave Graham; Editing by John O’Callaghan)
