Bodies found in Mexico might be kidnapped marines - Yahoo! News

Bodies found in Mexico might be kidnapped marines - Yahoo! News: The Mexican navy said Thursday it found bodies in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz that could include those of three marines and a naval cadet kidnapped by suspected drug cartel gunmen earlier this month.
Mexican drug cartels have kidnapped and killed military personnel before, but it remains a relatively rare occurrence.
The navy said in a statement that objects belonging to the kidnapped servicemen were found in a raid on a warehouse Sunday and that investigators later found the four bodies in four pits on the outskirts of the state capital.
The raid also resulted in the capture of five people suspected of participating in the abductions, authorities said.
