Mass graves

Scientists say they have found rare evidence of a prehistoric massacre in Europe after discovering a 7,000-year-old mass grave with skeletal remains from some of the continent's first farmers bearing terrible wounds.
     

Foreign dignitaries were starting to arrive in Bosnia on July 10 to mark the 20th anniversary of Europe's worst massacre since World War II and attend the funeral of 136 newly found victims.

The Bosnian state prosecution said that two previously unknown mass graves containing the bodies of victims of the 1992-95 war have been discovered in the towns of Bratunac and Bihac.

The case of 43 Mexican students missing since an attack by gang-linked police took another grim turn Thursday with the discovery of new mass graves where suspects said some were buried.

Thousands of people gathered to mourn as the remains of 284 people recently found in Tomasica at the biggest mass grave discovered since the 1992-95 war were buried.
