A U.N. team has found three mass graves with nearly 100 bodies from a firefight last month between rebel factions in Ivory Coast, the world body said Monday. Rebel officials previously said only 22 people died during the July 20 to 21 fight between two rival insurgent leaders. But U.N. investigators looking into violence at Korhogo, a major city in the west African nation's insurgent-controlled north, found three mass graves holding 99 dead from the battle Jean Victor Nkolo, a spokesman for the U.N. mission in Ivory Coast, told The Associated Press. It wasn't possible to determine if the dead were rebel fighters or civilians, Nkolo said.
