(BSS/AFP) - Sixty-four bodies have been found in Papua New Guinea's highlands, police said Monday, the latest in a string of mass deaths linked to long-running tribal violence.

After what is believed to have been an armed early morning ambush, Assistant Commissioner of Police Samson Kua said the toll was likely to rise further: "We believe there are still some bodies are still out there in the bush."
