CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) - Mexican authorities said the army discovered a grave holding at least 18 bodies near a ranch in the northern border state of Chihuahua.
A statement Monday from state prosecutors said soldiers found the bodies throughout the weekend and informed police so they could oversee excavation of the graves.
The ages and genders of the victims are unclear, and the bodies are being sent to the coroner's office in Ciudad Juarez.
Prosecutors said police are still searching for other bodies at the burial site.
