Mexican officials identify bodies of 12 kidnap victims

Mexican authorities have confirmed that 12 bodies pulled from a mass grave last week belong to young people kidnapped from a Mexico City bar in May. The 12 young people, aged 16 to 34, were kidnapped in broad daylight three months ago in a bar at the heart of the capital. The brazen mass killing has tarnished the capital's image as an oasis from the drug-related murders and kidnappings that have plagued the country in recent years. More than 70,000 people have been killed in drug violence since 2006.
