MEXICO CITY — The body of 36-year-old Hugo Hernandez was left on the streets of Los Mochis in seven pieces as a chilling threat to members of the Juarez drug cartel. A note read: "Happy New Year, because this will be your last."
To drive home the point, the assailants skinned Hernandez's face and stitched it onto a soccer ball.
The gruesome find, confirmed Friday by Sinaloa state prosecutors, represents a new level of brutality in Mexico's drug war, in which torture and beheadings are almost daily occurrences.
Hernandez was taken to Sinaloa after being kidnapped Jan. 2 in neighboring Sonora state, in an area known for marijuana growing, said Martin Robles, a spokesman for Sinaloa prosecutors. The motive for his abduction was unclear.
His torso was found in a plastic container in one location; elsewhere another box contained his arms, legs and skull, Robles said. Hernandez's face, sewn onto a football, was left in a plastic bag near City Hall.

Shade of brutal rituals in ancient Maya. These guys put Jihadis into shame.
Barbarians.
Diversity is a strength-- let us welcome our neighbors from the south.
Apocalypto must be a big DVD seller down there.
Imagine, skinning off a human face. Nice folks.
some cultures ARE bad. enough of the relativism crap...these people are sick!
Are they turning Islamic???? The depravity is astounding!
I think John Woo’s Face Off might be more popular.
Just what I was thinking. LOL
How awful!!!! What a gross thing to do to another person. As Rooster said, even AlQuaeda never did anything like this. If the open borders crowd has their way, this could happen in our own borders.
Good citizens just making soccer balls Americans don’t want to make.....
Giving Mexico money and letting them flood across the border ain’t getting it done. Its way past time to cut off the money and seal the pressure release valve to encourage Mexico to deal with their problem. (Extreme brutality is encouraged)
Those of us from Southern Arizona have been hearing about this kind of thing for more than 30 years now.
And we have also known that this is what is coming North with the illegals.
Someday soon, the overwhelming masses of them will make it impossible to reverse the invasion, and things like this will become commonplace in America.
And now you know why we are so intensely opposed to what is happening, and the brazen evil of those who encourage it.
“¡GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!”
This is what the democrats want to bring to America, with their shamnasty bill.
The "War on (Some) Drugs" is getting uglier by the day.
Amen, Amen, I wish there were more people like you and I wish people like you were in political office, what we have now is a disgrace.
Nothing new. This kind of stuff has been going on in Mexico for decades.
