8 bodies found by farmer likely kidnapped workers from Mexican resort, prosecutors say

Eight bodies were found Saturday on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, and they appear to be those of eight men apparently kidnapped from a resort on the Caribbean coast, officials said.

Prosecutors in the state of Yucatan said the bodies were probably those of men reported abducted in the laid-back beach town of Xcalak.

Xcalak, which is sometimes spelled Xcalac - the spelling used by prosecutors - is located on the southern tip of Mexico's Caribbean coast, near Belize.
