Department spokesman Ned Price told a news briefing that the United States is"gravely concerned" about accounts last week by CNN and the BBC of a massacre in the region by Ethiopian forces."We are, of course, looking into these reports. We have taken close note of them and we'll continue to pay close attention," Price said.
