Massacre Evidence Found In Jungle

Forensic experts uncovered the remains of 161 men, women and children in what human rights activists say was a 1982 massacre by the army in a northern jungle village.

The Guatemalan Association of Families of the Detained and Disappeared on Thursday demanded an investigation into the findings. It said the bones were found dumped down a well and scattered near the village of Dos Erres, 350 miles northeast of Guatemala City in the Peten jungle.

Aura Elena Farfan, a spokeswoman for the group, said the discovery of 161 skeletons was the latest in a series of gruesome finds that raise questions about the tens of thousands of dead and missing from a 36-year civil war.
