MEXICO CITY — About 12,000 people were slain last year in Mexico’s surging drug violence, according to grim tallies reported Monday by the country’s leading media outlets. Annual indexes of torture, beheading and the killing of women all showed increases. More than 50,000 people have been killed during President Felipe Calderon’s U.S.- backed military confrontation with organized crime and drug trafficking, which began in 2006.
