6 bodies found buried in ditch outside Mexico's Acapulco
Mexico City - Arab Today
The remains of at least six bodies were found in a ditch just outside the seaside resort of Acapulco in Guerrero, Mexico's bloodiest state, DNA India quoted an official as saying on Sunday.
The bodies had been buried between 5 and 20 days ago in a ditch that fed rain water into one of Acapulco's main bays, according to Acapulco prosecutor Ricardo Quevedo.
Sparsely populated Guerrero has led the nation in firearm killings for most of the past six years as heroin production for the US market has spiked in an area that is being fought over by a growing number of drug gangs.
Violence has also been fed by turf wars over the distribution of drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine in cities like Acapulco.
There were nearly 1,500 recorded firearms murders in Guerrero last year, according to government data, and hundreds more people have disappeared, with many found in mass graves.
Violence in Mexico has spiked during the past year to the highest rates since 2011 and the worst during the presidency of Enrique Pena Nieto, who took office in late 2012.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
