San Diego -- Mexican authorities discovered the decapitated bodies of three police officers and another man Wednesday near an empty lot in the seaside town of Rosarito Beach, about 15 miles south of the border.

The officers had gone missing Tuesday after responding to a report of a kidnapping. Witnesses said they were intercepted by about 100 heavily armed, masked men dressed as Mexican federal agents, according to a spokesman for the Baja California state attorney general's office
