Dozens of corpses dumped on avenue in Mexico

Masked gunmen blocked traffic on a busy avenue in a Gulf of Mexico coastal city and dumped the bodies of 35 murder victims as horrified motorists watched, authorities said.

Veracruz state attorney general Reynaldo Escobar Perez said the bodies were left piled in two lorries and on the ground of an underpass near a shopping centre in the city of Boca del Rio.
