Three more senior officials named in graft probes

The nation's top anti-corruption watchdog announced on Friday that three more high-ranking officials have been placed under investigation.

Two of them, Bai Yun and Ren Runhou, come from North China's Shanxi province. They were the seventh and eighth cases this year in a series of investigations of officials suspected of corruption in the coal-rich province.

The third official, from the National People's Congress, was also named on Friday.
