Cuernavaca, Mexico — Police have found the bound bodies of two men in the Mexican city of Cuernavaca, alongside a banner that threatens to kill 25 more drug cartel members.

Police say the killings are part of a battle between traffickers Hector Beltran Leyva and U.S.-born Edgar Valdez Villarreal, known as "La Barbie".

Cuernavaca police say the bodies were found early Wednesday outside a bar.

The message left near the cadavers said 25 of Beltran Leyva's henchmen are being held and interrogated in the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco and would be executed soon.

State police reported that three men were found shot to death Tuesday in a taxi in Acapulco. It was unclear whether they were related to the drug dispute.
