Police officers patrol the San Rafael cemetery during the Day of the Dead in the border city of Ciudad Juarez November 2, 2009. Black-clad mothers and orphaned children laid plastic flowers at the desert graves of drug war victims on Monday as Mexicans in one of the world's most violent cities celebrated the Day of the Dead. Some families in Ciudad Juarez's main cemetery near the U.S. border blasted brassy Norteno music out of their car stereos over the graves of loved ones, victims of a drug war that has killed more than 2,000 people in the city this year.
