Officials investigate latest Tijuana killing spree; six bodies dumped

TIJUANA – Mexican authorities are investigating the slayings of six men whose bodies were found dumped around Tijuana yesterday.
The latest killing spree follows the discovery of seven dumped bodies Friday night and Saturday morning. One of those victims was a Mexican federal police investigator.
Drug groups often are behind such killings, and the recent surge of dumped bodies comes about a month after U.S. authorities arrested suspected drug cartel leader Francisco Javier Arellano Félix and other suspected members of the region's Arellano Félix cartel.
Some U.S. and Mexican investigators say the Arellanos are going after rivals and people who have betrayed them. A note left near one group of bodies found last week indicated they were killed for being traitors.
Yesterday, the bodies of three men who had been shot in the head were found about 1 a.m. in the La Presa section of the city, according to a statement from the state Attorney General's Office.
Two of the dead were identified as Ulises Abel Lopez Cota, 25, and Flavio Alcala Salinas, 30. The other man's identity was unknown.
Later in the day, about 2 p.m., the bodies of three unidentified men were found in mud and trash in a section of Colonia Rio Alamar. The bodies showed signs of being hanged, Mexican authorities said.
