Police were investigating a possible massacre after the discovery of 35 skeletons in a cave in southern Lebanon. They said the skeletons appeared to have been there at least 10 years but that pathologists will try to make a more precise estimate. The area, controlled by Palestinian fighters 10 years ago, came under Israeli control after the 1982 invasion and was subsequently held by Lebanese Christian militiamen until Muslim forces took over last year. The skeletons were found on a hill overlooking the ancient port of Sidon.
