The bodies of seven people shot dead in apparent drug-related violence were found early today in northern Mexico, police said.
The seven, all killed with a shot to the head, were believed to be part of a group kidnapped on Tuesday in Nuevo Laredo, some 685 miles north of Mexico City, Tamaulipas state police chief Felipe Ramirez Lopez said.
Railroad workers found four of the bodies in a van on the road from Nuevo Laredo to Anahuac, in Nuevo Leon state, according to police.
Three other bodies were discovered in a vehicle on the road that links Nuevo Laredo with Colombia, also in Nuevo Leon.
