MORELIA, Mexico — Gunmen killed 12 people in different parts of Michoacan state, including three men who were beheaded, state officials said Friday.

The bodies were found in a stretch of territory from the mountains to the Pacific coast that is plagued with drug cartel violence.

All were killed during a 24-hour period starting Thursday, the Michoacan state prosecutor's office said.

It looks like the drug cartels are taking notes from the Islamic Terrorists. Mexico is spiraling into darkness really fast.

I’ll bet that 90% of the knives that they used to cut off those heads came from the USA.
