Vietnam mass grave found of soldiers killed in Tet

Authorities had searched unsuccessfully for the grave in Quang Tri province in central Vietnam for three years based on information provided by American veterans who said some 158 soldiers may be buried there, said Maj. Col. Tran Trong Trung.

A villager digging holes to plant trees found the mass grave recently and reported it, Trung said.

The soldiers were believed to have been killed while attacking an American base during the Tet Offensive, Trung said.
