The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity before the official announcement, said the Army had found the three bodies buried 'in a field near Hebron' and were waiting to inform the families before releasing information.
'They know it's the three, they will know for sure after they do the autopsy.'The official said the three appeared to have been shot to death, likely 'very close to the kidnap' time, and that the prime suspects had still not been caught.
