Almotamar Net - A mass grave with the remains of at least 24 bodies that could date back to a civil war two decades ago in Yemen's former Communist south has been unearthed near Aden, security officials said yesterday. An official at the hospital where the bodies were taken said 16 bodies were unearthed late Saturday and another eight yesterday. The remains show that some of the men had their hands bound before "being killed execution-style", said the same official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the political sensitivity of the affair. There has been no official reaction yet to the find. The remains of the men in military uniform and covered in blankets were found during a dig at a plot of land near Al Sulban barracks in Al Areesh suburb, northeast of the port city of Aden.
