Oh, and in addition to cutting of their heads, the Zetas drug cartel also cut off their hands and feet, to make identifying the bodies nearly impossible.  But hey, according to Obama, our southern border is safe and open for business.

Via KVUE News:

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Forty-nine decapitated and mutilated bodies were found Sunday dumped on a highway link between Monterrey, Mexico, and the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

It appears to be the latest blow in an escalating war of intimidation among drug gangs.

The bodies of the 43 men and six women were found in the town of San Juan on the non-toll highway to the border city of Reynosa before dawn today. A banner left at the site bore a message with the Zetas drug cartel taking responsibility for the massacre.

Officials say the fact the bodies were found with the heads, hands and feet cut off will make identification difficult.

The grisly find was made about 105 miles west-southwest of McAllen, Texas, or 75 miles southwest of the Roma, Texas, border crossing.
