JUAREZ - Juárez police found the dismembered bodies of two men in the early morning Tuesday as an apparent act of emerging rivalries with new drug organizations.

The arms, legs and torsos of the men were found around 7 a.m. near the intersection of Dorado and Pino Seco, in the Colonia Bosque Bonito. The men's heads were located near an icebox with a print message that read "New Juárez cartel, continue recruiting, we will receive you here."

A spokesman with Chihuahua state's prosecutor's office said the identities of the men haven't been confirmed and the matter continues to be under investigation.

The gruesome crime follows the discovery of a man's severed head on Sunday evening and his decapitated body the next morning.

State authorities have reported 119 homicides in Juarez so far this month.
