MONTERREY Mexico (Reuters) - Mexican security forces found the body of a slain mayor near Mexico's affluent city of Monterrey on Wednesday, days after he was abducted by drug hitmen, officials and local media said.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon, in a posting on his Twitter account, said he was sorry about the "cowardly assassination" of Mayor Edelmiro Cavazos, the mayor of a popular tourist town on the outskirts of Monterrey, a major industrial center with close U.S. business links.

"The murder of Edelmiro is an outrage and forces us to redouble our efforts to fight these cowardly criminals," Calderon wrote.

Monterrey-based daily El Norte and local TV networks said Cavazos was found bound and dumped on a rural road.

Am I really the only one who thinks "twittering" is somewhat of an inappropriate way to show your sorrow about a brutal murder?

Or am I starting to get old at 46?

There are/were already threats to leos and alphas on this side of border.

I was hoping this wouldn’t be the outcome; but like watching the global jihad — your gut already tells you the outcome.

Thank you for the ping SwinneySwitch.
