Re: Fw: Typhoon Rusa Exposes a Korean War Massacre Kept Secret for 52 Years.



Hi,
 
This Korean language web says the International Commission on War Crimes is investigating this site, which may contain as many as 2,000 bodies hidden in several mass graves.  So stay tuned.

I haven't found other information about the "supposed" massacre
either.  Could be the media found out the grave wasn't what was reported in
the story.  That is, the bodies were those of civilians killed in the
fighting between NK/US/ROK forces and since they were from other areas
(refugees) there was no one to claim the bodies so were buried in a mass
grave.  Or something like that.  Time will tell.
