BELARUS: MINSK: MASS GRAVE CONTAINING REMAINS OF 10.000 PEOPLE FOUND
Russian/Nat
A mass grave with the bodies of some 10-thousand people, apparently killed by the NKVD - the forerunner of the KGB - has been discovered in the Belorussian capital of Minsk.
Workmen laying water pipes stumbled across the find.
Judging by their clothes, many of the victims were Soviet Army soldiers, but there were also civilians, including women and children.
A 440-yard-long (400 metres) ditch holding the remains of thousands of people apparently executed by submachine guns, was discovered on the outskirts of the capital, Minsk.
Investigators found expensive crocodile handbags, an American fountain pen and Swiss watches in the grave, indicating that some of the victims may have been from other European countries.
It's thought they were shot in June and July 1941.
Soldiers of the Belarus army are continuing their search of the area, but the country doesn't have the funds to properly identify the bodies.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Here mostly, local people and prisoners of war and local Jews were executed. They were shot from the side of the hill.
SUPER CAPTION: Lt. Igor Karpovich, Belorussian Army
Although it was initially believed to be a Nazi war grave, excavators now think it could have been a Soviet concentration camp because many of the bodies were found with personal belongings
The Nazis were renowned for removing valuables from their victims.
There are reports that the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, may order the grave to be filled in the next two or three days.

Хаты́нь - Khatyn, Belarus
The haunting memorial to three million Belarusians died during the Second World War. On March 22, 1943, the entire population of Khatyn village was massacred by the 118th Schutzmannschaft Nazi battalion. The massacre was not an isolated incident. Hundreds of Belarusian settlements were burned by the Nazis and some or all their inhabitants were killed as a punishment for collaboration with partisans.
