42 bodies found in 22 graves during probe of 2 missing federal agents LA BARCA, Mexico, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Forty-two bodies -- many exhibiting signs of torture -- were found in mass graves in western Mexico this month, the Attorney General's Office said. Officials said the 22 graves in the town of La Barca in Jalisco state were discovered as part of an investigation into the disappearance of two federal agents, CNN reported. None has been identified. Drug cartels operating in the region are battling for control. "We started the investigation when two police officers disappeared," Mexican Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said. We found that those responsible for the disappearances of these police officers were municipal police, practically all of them municipal police officers. He said the suspects were detained and during the investigation "we found a place where the federal agents might have been buried." The attorney general said the federal officers were not among the corpses found in the mass graves.
