Libyans find grave said to hold remains of 1,200

Revolutionary fighters stand near bone fragments at the site which is thought to be a possible mass grave near to Abu Salim prison in Tripoli, Libya, Sunday, Sept. 25, 2011, where some 1,270 inmates are thought to have been killed by the regime of Moammar Gadhafi in a 1996 prison massacre. Various bones have been found scattered over the cactus-covered desert field near to the prison, after information was given by a captured former security guard who revealed its location, according to an announcement on Sunday by Dr. Ibrahim Abu Sahima of the government committee overseeing the search for victims of the former regime. Officials with the Libyan Transitional Council are expected to ask for international assistance in identifying the remains. (AP Photo/Abdel Magid al-Fergany)
