Suspected WWII mass grave found in Philippines

Police cordoned off the area in Nasugbu town, about a three-hour drive south of the capital Manila, shortly after the workers discovered the remains Friday.

A forensic investigation was being carried out to determine the nationalities of the victims, although they are believed to be Filipinos, police said.

Thousands of Filipino and American soldiers died during the occupation, many of them starved to death in Japanese garrisons around the country, historians said.
