Over 100 bodies in mass grave 8212; Cook

WASHINGTON: More than 100 bodies were discovered buried in a mass grave earlier this week in south-west Kosovo, British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook has said. The grave in Velika Krusa, near the southern town of Prizren, was found on Tuesday by NATO troops. It was thought to contain 20 bodies. But the site contains five times that number, according to a statement released by Cook in London. A Scotland Yard police team on Saturday began the gruesome task of examining the site, it affirmed.

It was the first investigation of a site listed in the indictment of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic by the UN War Crimes Tribunal.
