BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - Troops exhumed the remains of 25 bodies from a mass grave near a former Syrian military base in eastern Lebanon on Saturday.

An official said another 12 bodies - most believed to be Lebanese soldiers - were recently removed from a grave near Beirut for DNA testing.

The identities of the bodies were not immediately known, but one security official said some appeared to be Lebanese soldiers killed in an October 1990 Syrian military offensive that defeated Christian-commanded army units of then-interim Lebanese Prime Minister Michel Aoun.

Ghazi Aad, director of Support of Lebanese in Detention and Exile, called the mass grave "the biggest proof" of the extent of Syrian atrocities against Lebanese.
