Soldiers allied to Libya's new rulers said Wednesday it had discovered a mass grave in Tripoli containing the bodies of more than 200 people who died in the chaos surrounding the rebel assault that ousted Muammar Gadhafi.
Naji al-Issawi, a commander in a unit of Tripoli's military council, showed reporters two corpses exhumed from a cemetary that he said contained between 200 and 300 corpses.
Issawi said officials hope to dig up more of the site in the Gargarish district and start identifying the remains.
