[DainBramaged]

Two street clowns were found dead in southeastern Mexico along with messages allegedly from a drug gang accusing them of working as army informers, their families said Tuesday.

Another 15 people were reported killed in the northern border state of Chihuahua overnight, including a woman who was beheaded, amid rampant drug violence across Mexico which killed more than 12,000 people last year alone.

The clowns were found in bright costumes and makeup on a roadside Sunday in the city of Villahermosa, bearing signs of torture and a message accusing them of being army informers, their families said.

The Tabasco state attorney general's office said they were found with a message attributing the crime to the Zetas drug gang, which is known to be active in the area.

1. This drug war won't end until an upper echelon U.S. or Mexico

politician, or their kin, get kidnapped and/or killed. It's like having to wait for a pedestrian child to get killed by a car before government will put in a traffic light and a crosswalk.

Prohibition did not work in the 1930s, no reason it should work now.
