Heavily armed Mexican soldiers flood the popular tourist town of Santiago. <br /><br />The body of a kidnapped mayor was found Wednesday dumped along this rural road. <br /><br />He had been blindfolded with his hands tied - the latest public official to fall victim to attack from increasingly bold drug cartels. <br /><br />The attorney general in the border state of Nuevo Leon confirmed the body was Mayor Edelmiro Cavazos, and said drug gangs were behind the killing. <br /><br />Nuevo Leon's governor vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice. <br /><br />[Rodrigo Medina, Governor]: (Spanish) <br />"As governor, I will not lessen any efforts to find and punish those responsible. We are going to demonstrate as a people, once more, that we are stronger and without a doubt, we will come out ahead. Rest in peace Edelmiro Cavazos Leal." <br /><br />Edelmiro Cavazos was mayor of a town on the outskirts of Monterrey. <br /><br />The father of three was abducted from his home on Sunday night. <br /><br />Officials said that Cavazos was probably targeted for his efforts to clean up Santiago's corrupt police force.
