MEXICO CITY, Dec 20 (Reuters) - The bodies of six men were found hanging from three different bridges near the Mexican tourist resort of Los Cabos on the Baja California peninsula on Wednesday, local authorities said.

The authorities did not give details on what happened to the men, but drug gangs often hang the bodies of their murdered victims in public to intimidate rivals. Drug gang violence is set to make 2017 Mexico’s deadliest year in modern history.

Two bodies were found on a bridge in Las Veredas, near Los Cabos International Airport, and two on a different bridge on the highway between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, local prosecutors said in a statement.

In a separate statement, the prosecutors said two further bodies were found on a third bridge near the airport.

3. Good timing, apparently. That would be an image many could never get out of their minds. Wow.

It takes a whole lot of hatred to do that to someone.

4. Only when the tourist dollar evaporates will the Mexican government get serious about these gangs.

Very sad. My wife and I honeymooned at the Finisterra many years ago.
