Mass grave unearthed at Bien Hoa airport

Many items and body remains were found on Thursday morning in a pit east of Bien Hoa Airport in Dong Nai province. The site was the location of a U.S. airbase during the Vietnam War.

Witnesses said it was the burial site of around 150 communist troops who were killed during military campaigns in early 1968 which was known as the Tet Offensive. Local authorities will organise a funeral for the deceased and the body remains that were found will be buried at the provincial cemetery for Vietnamese soldiers.
