This market has become a graveyard. A day ago, families wandered through rows of stalls at San Pablito, searching for fireworks to launch during the holiday season. Now, forensic teams are combing through the charred rubble of this market north of Mexico City, searching for victims' remains. At least 32 people were killed and dozens more were injured in a massive series of explosions Tuesday, officials said. The deadly blasts sent huge plumes of smoke billowing into the sky and shook the ground in neighboring towns.
