7 bodies found in central Mexico
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Mexican officials in the central state of Guanajuato say seven bodies have been found in the city of Salamanca and they appear to be members of a criminal organization.
The state attorney general's office says three of the victims were shot, and they have been identified.
Four others also were found Friday — dismembered in black plastic bags in two separate locations, on the side of a highway and in a neighborhood.
