U.N. Calls for Probe After 87 Bodies Discovered in Mass Grave in Sudan's Darfur 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.N. is calling for an investigation over a mass grave in Sudan's
West Darfur which contained at least 87 bodies, including members of the
ethnic Masalit community. The U.N.'s human rights chief said there is
credible information that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces are
responsible. This comes as peace talks appear to have hit a wall and as
the U.N. warns Sudan is on the brink of a "full-scale civil war" after
three months of deadly fighting.
