MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The body of a prison warden kidnapped by gunmen earlier on Saturday was found dismembered and scattered in several locations in a small state adjacent to the Mexican capital, Mexican media reported.

The gruesome remains were found in Morelos state as police in bordering Guerrero state discovered at least 20 bodies dumped in a ravine, according to a local newspaper.
Officials will not know the exact number of corpses that were found for three days, El Universal reported, citing Guerrero state spokesman Manuel Nava.
Suspected drug gang hitmen grabbed prison warden Luis Navarro as he reported for work on Saturday morning. Parts of his body were later found in gift bags at four locations near police stations in Morelos state, Mexican media said.
At least two of the packages contained messages threatening police and other public officials, they said.
A spokesman for the state public security office confirmed Navarro's kidnapping but declined to say whether it was his dismembered body that was found.
Morelos state and Cuernavaca, its capital which is a popular weekend getaway near Mexico City, have witnessed a surge in drug-related violence since security forces killed Arturo Beltran Leyva, the leader of an eponymous regional drug cartel, in December.
Beltran Leyva's death has triggered a brutal power struggle as factions in the gang battle for control of its territory.
The half-naked bodies of two men were found hanged from a major bridge in the city in April in one of the most shocking recent crimes in the once-quiet colonial city.
Drug violence is raging across Mexico and almost 23,000 people have been killed in the fight among cartels and with Mexican security forces since President Felipe Calderon launched his army-led crackdown on drug gangs in 2006.
The escalating violence is scaring off tourists and worries Washington, which is giving anti-drug aid, equipment and police training to Mexico. Some investors have frozen investment in factories in cities on the U.S. border, especially in Ciudad Juarez, the most deadly flash point in the drug war.

Can you believe that this is happening in a NAFTA country ? Mexico is hopeless. This is a country that really needs to get itself together. And no, I am sorry, It is not on equal terms with Canada and the U.S.A..
Despite it’s wealth, it is not an economic trading equal
to the U.S. and Canada.

Enjoy your coke and weed. This is what you are responsible for, but you don’t care anyway.
Maybe it is time to legalize drugs and make them available through pharmacies…

Give the drug business back to the Drs.,
treat it as a disease, no money-no honey!!
Problem solved!
For someone to sit around drinking beer
and condemming marijuana is a bit rrediculous also! 10 times more people die each year from alcohol related sicknesses than all other drugs combined1
But I guess that would kill the golden goose so many make there living on!
So I guess the 70 year old drug war must continue! Power to the correct people!!!
