Mexican Trailer Turned Makeshift Morgue

Mexican authorities said on Wednesday they had fired the top prosecutor in Jalisco state, the second official to lose his job after the discovery of a container truck holding the bodies of hundreds of victims of the country's drug war.

As authorities tried to park a large truck in various locations in the suburbs of the Mexican city of Guadalajara, residents began to complain. It turned out that Mexico officials were using the truck as a makeshift morgue, reportedly holding about 100 corpses that couldn't fit anywhere else.
