| 2011-03-19 |
| For a map, click here. For a map of Sonora, click here Six unidentified individuals were found in a grave near Caborca, Sonora Thursday morning, according to Mexican news reports. Reports say the bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition and had died about three months ago. The decomposition was so bad investigators at the scene could not determine how the victims died. The grave was found by a couple gathering firewood along the Sonoyta-Cabora highway about 30 kilometers west of Caborca. The bodies were only partially buried owing to vermin in the area digging the bodies up to consume them. Press reports call the find a narcofosa or narcograve. Caborca is in the rugged Altar desert and is about 20 kilometers west of Tubutama. The area between Tubutama and Caborca has in the recent past been known as a communications hub for drug gangs moving product into the US through Nogales due north and Tijuana well to the west, and has seen some of the worst intergang violence in Mexico.

| #1 Completely out of hand. Gotta watch your 6 man no matter what is melting down. Cover me while I go back to the IDF bunker - Charlie is in the wire and no one cares. |
