Fourteen bodies were found in the state of San Luis Potosi, 17 in the port of Acapulco, and 12 in Mexico City itself, a locale relatively shielded from drug violence.
The wave of deaths comes not too long before the six- year anniversary of the federal government’s declaration of war on the cartels.
The violence also comes about a week after President Calderon boasted to the National Security Council that drug-related homicides has dropped 15% over the previous year.
Since the government launced its anti-cartel offencive in 2006, an estimated 60,000 people have been killed and another 10,000 are missing.
