It is the second mass grave discovered since Omar al-Bashir, who ruled the African country for three decades and ruthlessly crushed dissent, was overthrown by the army during street protests last year.

KHARTOUM - The bodies of 28 Sudanese army officers involved in a failed coup against former president Omar al-Bashir in 1990 have been found in a mass grave, prosecutors said on Thursday.

"It took three weeks and the work of 22 experts from different fields to locate it," he said in a statement. Bashir, 76, and many of his aides have been kept in Khartoum's Kober prison on multiple charges since being ousted. Sudan has since August been led by a civilian-majority administration presiding over a three-year transitional period.
