ATTENTION EDITORS - VISUAL COVERAGE OF SCENES OF INJURY OR DEATH A Hindu villager reacts while identifying the bodies of relatives found by government forces, that authorities suspected were killed by insurgents last month, in a mass grave near Maungdaw in the north of Myanmar's Rakhine state, September 27, 2017. The bodies of Hindu villagers are displayed by Myanmar authorities who say they were killed by Muslim insurgents, victims of a surge of violence in someone else's fight now playing their part in a propaganda war. Authorities found 45 Hindu villagers in mass graves in the north of Rakhine state this week, and the news has dominated Myanmar's media coverage of a new round of violence in old strife between the state's Buddhists and Muslims. The military flew a group of reporters from the city of Yangon to see the bodies laid out on the grass, and to hear from those who found them after information about the massacre filtered back from Hindus who have sought refuge from the violence in Bangladesh.
