Proceso has reports the total exhumation is 322, going by official counts.
Yadira Fragoso is quoted saying no other graves are expected to be found.
A similar mass grave find was made in Tamaulipas last summer, where authorities found graves with 193 individuals who were killed during a terror campaign by a Los Zetas armed group operating out of San Fernando municipality in Tamaulipas. Between July, 2010 and when those graves were found in April, 2011, the San Fernando Los Zetas group hijacked buses and abused and killed passengers, reportedly as part of a recruiting drive.
The original discovery in Durango was made from an apparent interrogation of a detainee, who led authorities to the first of four grave sites in Durango municipality. Graves have been found as far away as the La Laguna region in far eastern Durango near the border with Coahuila state.
Many of the dead were not shot, but had been killed by various means. Some of the dead were killed as long ago as 2005, well before the late 2006 start of Mexican president Felipe Calderon's war on the drug cartels.
According to previous news reports of the 300 dead found to date only, 37 have been claimed by relatives.

Wasn't there a narco manta by CDJ saying that El Flaco and El Inge were getting turned in bc of these narco graves..
ReplyDeleteI find it very funny that the Cartel is not named in the article. If it were Zetas, Juarez, Tijuana, or Golfo, their names would be splattered all over the articles. Since it is the XXXXXXX Cartel, the name is withheld in hopes that the average reader will assume it to be "those damn Zetas" again.
ReplyDeleteI usually try to provide informative and insightful commentary on this well respected site. Upon seeing a photo of the Durango FGE I must digress and say "I'd hit it!".
ReplyDeleteFlaco and el inge werent part of the chapo group anymore, ive heard different stories, some say they still kept it cool, others say theyre enemies, but ine thing is for sure, they were not with el cho anymore. Goes to show you how the govt and media truly try and manipulate these sort of things. When they were both arrested all we would hear was big time leaders in the organization arrested, when they werent even a part of it anymore
ReplyDeleteMedia and government both still showing support for el chapo, all media outlets made a huge deal of the San Fernando graves when almost double of the amount of bodies have been found in these graves that el chapo made, im on nobodies side, none the less the people should get the facts
ReplyDeleteI didn't include naming the Sinaloa Cartel, although news reports have surfaced last summer which linked them to these killings.
ReplyDeleteIt was a sin of omission, not deliberate. No agenda, no secrecy. I just failed to mention them.
