KINSHASA, Congo, NOV 24, SPA -- The United Nations said Friday its investigators have discovered three mass graves at a northeast Congo military camp containing the bodies of 30 people who were allegedly executed by soldiers. The corpses, including women and children, were found at a military camp in Ituri province after witnesses accused troops of killing dozens of people two months ago, U.N. spokesman Kemal Saiki said. Saiki said the graves had been opened and the bodies would be exhumed for a team of investigators that includes U.N. human rights officials and Congolese military authorities. It was not immediately clear what sparked the killings, the Associated Press reported.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/405784
