A gruesome discovery in Mexico

A truck, carrying Mexican army soldiers, drives past a pedestrian bridge where a giant banner signed by the Zetas, the enforcement arm of the Gulf drug cartel, hangs in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, northern Mexico, Sunday, April 13, 2008. The banner reads in Spanish: 'Operative group 'The Zetas' wants you, soldier or ex-soldier. We offer a good salary, food and benefits for your family. Don't suffer anymore mistreatment and don't go hungry. We wont give you instant noodle soup.' (AP)

SAN ANTONIO-Dozens of bodies have been found along a highway in Mexico.  Law enforcement say all of the people were decapitated.

Mexican Authorities made the discovery Sunday morning in the border state of Nuevo Leon.

Forty-nine bodies were left along a main road between Monterrey and Reynosa.

We've learned a message left nearby appeared to refer to the Zetas Drug Cartel.

No one has been arrested.

The area we're told has become a battleground for conflict between the Gulf Cartel and the Zetas.

I think Mexico likes it that way. I won't ever go back there.
