• 59 Haitians Buried in Common Grave

CAP-HAITIEN, Haiti -- The remains of dozens of Haitian migrants who died when their boat capsized off the Turks and Caicos Islands were returned to their homeland Saturday and buried in a common grave, angering relatives who were not given a chance to identify their loved ones. Family members clutching photographs of victims wept as the 59 bodies -- wrapped in black bags and marked "John Doe" or "Jane Doe" - - were unloaded from a cargo ship in Cap-Haitien's seaport, two weeks after one of the deadliest disasters to hit Haitians in years. Officials said the bodies were badly decomposed and could not be readily identified.
