Body parts strewn around state capital outside Mexico City, apparently left by violent cartel

TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) — A violent drug cartel is suspected of leaving a severed human leg found hanging from a pedestrian bridge in the Mexican city of Toluca, just west of Mexico City. Before Wednesday was over, parts of at least two bodies had turned up around the city. At the bridge, the trunk of the body was left on the street below, along with handwritten signs from the Familia Michoacana cartel. Other parts of the body were found later in another neighborhood. Then parts of at least one other body were found in two other sections of the city. Toluca is the capital of the State of Mexico, and the mayor is appealing for calm. The Familia Michoacana has dominated rural areas in the state for years, but may now be trying to move into the state capital.
