Mexico: Drug-Related Killings Hit Record High: "More than 34,000 people have died in drug-related killings in Mexico since 2006 - nearly half of those in the last year alone, government officials have said.
Police in Mexico have found 18 bodies in a mass grave near Acapulco following a surge in drug violence.
The deaths have occurred in the four years since President Felipe Calderon launched a military crackdown on organised crime and cartels.
A total of 34,612 have died, with the number of deaths jumping sharply from 9,616 in 2009 to 15,273 in 2010."
