"The Mexican military discovered a mass grave linked to drug cartels and criminal gangs in Tamaulipas, Mexico on Tuesday. A man suffering from a gunshot wound tipped the military off to a ranch used as a dumping ground where 72 bodies were found above ground. The group of 58 men and 14 women is one of the largest discoveries of dead bodies in Mexico's 4 year-old war on organized crime. Upon reaching the ground, troops encountered a shootout in which an officer and three suspects were killed. Also found were a stash of weapons, including camouflage uniforms, bullet proof vests and four trucks disguised to look like vehicles from the Ministry of National Defense."
