49 (DEAD BODIES) Dumped on HIGHWAY in MEXICO Police Investigate

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Dozens of bodies, at least some of them mutilated, were found Sunday dumped on a highway near the northern Mexican metropolis of Monterrey, officials said.

A law enforcement official said 37 bodies were found in the town of San Juan on the non-toll highway to the border city of Reynosa at about 4 a.m. (5 a.m. EDT; 0900 GMT), but officials were still investigating.

Authorities closed off the highway, blocking the way for hundreds of motorists, as federal and state police, joined by Mexican troops, sealed off the scene.

ZETAS DRUG CARTEL

The law enforcement official asked that his name not be used because he was not authorized to release the information. The details, however, match reports in Mexican news media.

The discovery echoes several other recent cases in which drug gangs have left bodies scattered in public places as warnings to rivals. Thirty-five bodies were left at a freeway overpass in the city of Veracruz in September. Twenty-six were found in November in Guadalajara.

WHITE Buffalo Calf (KILLED) LAKOTA Ranch

A North Texas ranch is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest in the killing of its sacred white buffalo.

The rare white buffalo, a male calf named Lightning Medicine Cloud, was found slaughtered and skinned on April 30 on Lakota Ranch near Greenville, Texas, just shy of its first birthday. Its mother died the next day.

The ranch's owner, Arby Little Soldier, said he thinks the mother was poisoned. Little Soldier, the great-great-great grandson of Sitting Bull, was away on a trip when the white buffalo was killed.

"Someone who probably knew we were out of town killed him and stripped the meat," Little Soldier told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I think it was a professional hit on the mom."

According to the paper, the ranch and its supporters are offering $45,000 for information leading to the killer. According to the ranch's website, Native Americans "see the white buffalo calf as the sign to begin life's sacred hoop."

And they are very rare. According to the National Bison Association, just one out of every 10 million buffalo born are white.

Police struck out with batons and hit several protesters on the head as they pushed back a crowd of thousands which advanced towards them holding white metal crowd barriers and throwing objects, Reuters reporters at the rally said.

The demonstrators fought back with flagpoles but police formed a line with riot shields to prevent them moving towards a bridge leading across the Moscow river to the Kremlin.

The boy was arrested at his home in Carson, which is 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles County Deputy Guillermina Saldana said. No motive for the shooting was released.

The boy called 911 shortly before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday and reported that his father had been shot in the back of the head by a bullet fired into their home from the backyard, Sgt. Dana Ellison said.

The 40-year-old agent was found in the television room of the two-story home, which is on a tidy street near a school. He had been shot with a handgun and was dead when deputies arrived, Saldana said.

It was unclear whether anyone else was in the home at the time of the shooting, she added.

The agent's name was not immediately released but he had worked for ICE for four years, Saldana said.

He worked on homeland security investigations, the federal agency said.

"This is a difficult time for ICE, especially for the family and loved ones of the agent. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers,' ICE Director John Morton said in a statement.
