Violence of traffickers leaves 47 thousand deaths

Two decapitated bodies appeared yesterday on Wednesday at the entrance of the upscale shopping mall Santa Fe Mexico City, as long as the Government announced that the death toll since the beginning of the war on drug trafficking amounted to 47,515 until September 2011.

The President Felipe Calderón launched the offensive against drug cartels in December 2006.

The local press published pictures of the burning car and reported that the note written on pink paper carried the signature of the cartel "hand with eyes", which was spun in the cartel of the brothers Beltran Leyva.

The victims, a man and a woman from a little more than 30 years of age, have not been identified, said the Attorney.

The huge Mexican capital has hardly suffered the brutal violence of cartel that dominates the border and the States peripherals.

But gangs have been more than one year playing the local drug market, more lucrative, u000amainly in working class neighborhoods and suburbs.

The Attorney General of the Republic reported on Wednesday that occurred 47,515 deaths linked to the drug since December 2006, when Calderón launched a military offensive against drug trafficking, until September 2011.

The death toll in the first nine months of 2011 amounted to 12,903, compared with the 11,583 registered in the same period in 2010.

Office of the Procurator had rejected requests that managed to release the information. The Agency gave out periodically the death toll until January 2011.
