Authorities Discover 71 Bodies in Mass Graves in Chihuahua, Mexico

The discoveries were made in a military-backed operation in an area known as 'El Willy', controlled by La Linea, a faction of the Juárez cartel. The remains included complete skeletons, partial remains, clothing, and bullet casings, highlighting the brutal reality of drug-related crimes in the area, which is a key trafficking route to the U.S. Prosecutors are working to identify the victims, with over 345,000 people reported missing in Mexico due to cartel-related violence.

The discovery adds to the alarming trend of mass graves across Mexico, particularly in regions plagued by drug cartel conflicts.
