Government delays mass grave exhumation for second time

Sri Lankan officials, for a second time, delayed an exhumation dig at a suspected mass grave that is thought to contain the bodies of over 100 Muslims, killed during the ethnic conflict on the island, reports the AFP.

A local police official said that the exhumation had been delayed as there were problems transporting forensic experts from Colombo to the east of the island where the mass graves are suspected to be.
