CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) - Mexican authorities have unearthed 11 bodies buried behind what appeared to be a drug trafficker's safe house near the U.S. border and were continuing the search Tuesday.
The bodies were discovered between Friday and Monday by federal agents searching a house in Ciudad Juarez, the federal attorney general's office said late Monday. Seven of those bodies were found Monday under the house's patio.
Agents also discovered three bags of clothing, some of which was identified by relatives of two people who disappeared Jan. 14.
The property appeared to be a safe house for Humberto Santillan Tabares, who was arrested Jan. 15 across the border in El Paso, Texas, investigators said. He was identified as a chief lieutenant of Vicente Carrillo, allegedly one of Mexico's major drug traffickers.
