BUENOS AIRES, Aug 20, 2021 (BSS/AFP) - Red Cross experts working to

identify the remains of Argentine soldiers fallen in the Falklands war
between the UK and Argentina said Thursday they discovered an additional body
buried in a common grave.

  This week, a mission led by the International Committee of the Red Cross
began examining a grave at Darwin cemetery believed to have contained four
soldiers. But as work got underway, the team discovered a fifth body in grave
C.1.10.

  "We are now sure that there are at least five people buried in this grave,"
mission member Luis Fondebrider told reporters Thursday. "Now begins the work
of identification."

  Argentina invaded the Falklands in 1982, with Britain regaining control
after a 10-week war in which 649 Argentines, 255 British troops and three
islanders were killed.

  Following the war, 237 Argentine soldiers were buried in 230 graves in the
Darwin cemetery.

  Four years ago, the Red Cross exhumed the remains of 122 Argentine soldiers
from unmarked graves, of whom 115 were identified by DNA testing.

  The Falklands are a self-governing British overseas territory that have
been under sole British control since 1833.

  Argentina has disputed British sovereignty since the 1940s.
