U.S. ID Papers Found on 3 in Mass Grave
Three bodies found bound and blindfolded in a mass grave in Serbia bore documents indicating that they are U.S. citizens of ethnic Albanian origin, an official said.
An examination will be required to verify their identities, the official, a member of a forensic team at the grave in Petrovo Selo in the Yugoslav republic said.
Papers on the men identify them as brothers--Agron, Mehmet and Yli Bytyqi--born in Chicago in 1978, 1976 and 1974, respectively. They lived in New York City, and their mother and sister lived in the Serbian province of Kosovo, the official said.
