Drug cartel violence in Cancun resort: 8 bodies found by authorities.

Eight bodies were found dumped in Cancun, Mexico, over the weekend, with five of them discovered at an abandoned construction site and three sets of skeletal remains found in a wooded area. Drug cartels have been disposing of their victims' bodies in clandestine dumping grounds as they fight for control of the Caribbean coast and its drug trade. The bodies were found during a coordinated effort to search for missing people in wooded lots and sinkhole ponds. The U.S. State Department has issued travel guidance warning travelers to exercise increased caution, especially near resorts like Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum anytime after dark.
