68 bodies uncovered in Ivory Coast mass grave

At least 68 bodies were spread out across 10 burial mounds in a mass grave discovered on a football field in the Ivory Coast capital Abidjan, the UN said tonight.

Guillaume Ngefa, deputy director of the human rights division of the UN mission in Ivory Coast, said the victims were probably killed by pro-Laurent Gbagbo militias on April 12, the day after the strongman was arrested.
