As many as a dozen bodies were found Tuesday scattered around the northern Mexico industrial hub of Monterrey and its suburbs, including some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country.Prosecutors in the state of Nuevo Leon did not provide a final tally of the number of dead because some of the bodies had been found in pieces or were dumped in plastic bags.But pros adidas campus ecutors confirmed at least seven bodies had been found, as well as five bags of body parts.Gerardo Palacios, the head security official of Nuevo Leon state, said the killings appeared related to an internal dispute within a drug cartel based in the neighboring state of Tamaulipas. The Gulf and Northeast cartels operate there, but he did not specify which he was referring to. What we see here is an internal purge within an organized crime group based in Tamaulipas, because of some acts of disloyalty within the group, Palacios said. Drug cartels in Mexico often leave dismembered bodies on streets, often with banners threatening officials or rival gangs.In July, the bodies of four men and two women were found lying on the side of a street in Apodaca, a suburb of Monterrey.

I saw one of the taxis, it literally flew and landed in front of the hotel, said eyewitness Ghulam Noor.No group has claimed responsibility, but there are suspicions this is more than just another outbreak of India s Muslim-Hindu religious violence. This is probably the work of either al Qaeda or an al Qaeda-linked group, said M.J. Gohel, a leading expert on terrorism in Asia. These were simultaneous attacks, a sophisticated car bomb, and they chose soft-symbolic targets. Local groups would not act in this way; they tend to be more into rioting and looting and arson attacks, said Gohel.And because the groups suspected of perpetrating this massacre operate out of Pakistan, there are wider implications. India and Pakistan, both nuclear powers, were on the brink of war just last year.

Caracas --Europe has now joined the movement against embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, which continues to grow outside the South American nation. Inside the country, millions of Catholics have also joined the push for change, led by their church. In January, bishops called Maduro s presidency illegitimate.CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer has visited a parish in La Vega, a working class slum of Caracas, where Mass not only fills the church, it draws an overflow crowd.Father Alfredo Infanta s spiritual message carries a strong political subtext, though he says it s not directly anti-Maduro, as people must decide for themselves. The Church, however, has called Maduro s presidency unconstitutional. His parishioners might call it something else: a disaster.Father Infanta took Palmer deeper into the La Vega slum, where there s been no running water for four months and where, if not for a free lunch program offering potatoes, cheese and a dose of vitamins, some kids wouldn t eat at all.

Iraq may be seriously considering allowing U.N. weapons inspectors back into the country after a hiatus of more than three years, an American official said Wednesday. I think a lot of people are telling us the Iraqis are seriously thinking about this now, said James Cunningham, the deputy U.S. representative to the United Nations. U.N.

As long as the secretary-ge stanley uk neral and his people think it is useful to continue this discussion and they think there s a chance of bringing the Iraqis to that point for whatever reason, we think that s a useful thing to do, Cunningham said. So we ll see after the next round, he said, adding that no one wanted the discussions to drag on for months. The inspectors first went into Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War, spending seven years checking for weapons of mass destruction, a key requirement before any suspension of U.N. sanctions against Baghdad.

For the first stanley mugs 24 hours, General Dwight Eisenhower, the commander of Operation Overlord, did not know if his troops were winning or losing.
