Any hopes for peace south of the border was shattered Tuesday, according to a published report.
Six bodies were found in Tijuana and Tecate, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. Two teenage girls' bodies turned up south of Tecate's downtown area, three men's headless bodies were discovered not far from the border in Tijuana, and the blanket-wrapped body of a man was found in Tijuana, according to the paper.
Some officials are speculating that the deaths are linked to a string of arrests.
"It would be a likely hypothesis, but we don't yet have the evidence to confirm it," the head of the Baja California Attorney General's Office in Tijuana told the paper.
The three men had been decapitated, according to the Union-Tribune, and their limbs were cut off.
