Default Five severed HEADS found in sack outside Mexican primary school

Five severed HEADS found in sack outside Mexican primary school in latest sickening threat from drugs cartels

Mexican police have found five severed heads stuffed in a sack outside a primary school in the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco.

The gruesome discovery comes after drugs gangs threatened to attack elementary school teachers if they did not pay half their wages to the drugs cartels.

The extortion demands forced around 130 schools in the city to close earlier this month, after administrators and parents decided it was not safe enough to start classes.

The heads were found on Tuesday inside a sack that had been placed inside a small wooden crate, the Guerrero state public security secretariat said.

Police say the five heads were positioned next to a handwritten message threatening three alleged drug traffickers and Guerrero State Governor Angel Aguirre, who had promised a series of measures to combat the criminal gangs.

The message, in an apparently sarcastic tone, told people to thank the governor for continuing 'this war'.

The heads all appear to be of men. But some of the five headless bodies found elsewhere in the city the previous day were too badly burned to immediately determine their gender.

The horrific discovery comes just days after police found a woman's decapitated body in the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo, alongside a handwritten sign saying she was killed in retaliation for her postings on a social networking site.

Late last month, as the new school year began, dozens of teachers in Acapulco said drugs gangs had threatened them with violence if they did not hand over half their salaries from October 1.

Protest: Teachers marched along the streets of Acapulco on September 14 to demand the government intervention after extortion threats. The sign reads: 'Acapulco demands Peace and Security'

Administrators and other personnel also refused to go to work and many schools were left empty and padlocked for two weeks.

They and colleagues have since been on strike, leading to the closure of more than 100 schools. Earlier this month, they took to the streets to protest at the situation.

Guerrero State Governor Aguirre has promised a series of measures, including increased police patrols and the installation of security cameras and panic buttons in schools.

But teachers say they still fear for their own and pupils' safety.

And exactly who are these "drug cartel members"? They're their own citizens!!! It's Juan's brother, Maria's uncle, Jose's father! But when you hear them talk about good ol' Mexheco, it's "Viva, Mexheeco!" And when stories are written, the drug cartel members are described as some foreign force that has nothing to do with being a Mexican citizen.
