Coalition forces have dug up 23 graves and taken DNA samples in an al-Qaeda cemetary in eastern Afghanistan after information that Osama bin Laden had been in the area, officers said Tuesday. The graves were all in a cemetary in the village of Ale Qehl in the mountainous Tora Bora region, said Captain Phillip Nicholson, the commander of the Canadian mission that dug up the graves. "He (bin Laden) was located in the area at approximately the same time (that the 23 were killed)," he said. Nicholson said the victims were all killed while fleeing from caves to the village during one of the major battles of the Afghan campaign in the Tora Bora region last December.
