#1 Another Associated Press dispatched said that the victims were migrants heading to the United States

Story also reported also by ABC news. The question is: Is the threshold of 'newsworthiness' the number of dead, or that the deceased may have been migrants?

#2 Obviously the story is the massive number of dead. Milenio now saying the great majority of the dead are Los Zetas. The migrants angle, if you believe the narco boards ( an who doesn't :oP) are actually Guatemalans, who, if case you haven't heard, love their new Los Zetas overlords.

#3 Perhaps I should elaborate that to say "newsworthiness to the US media"....
