BEIJING (Reuters) - China will set up a new anti-corruption bureau under its top prosecutor, a senior official said, in an attempt to streamline an aggressive campaign against graft.

President Xi Jinping has conducted a sweeping drive against corruption since assuming power two years ago. One of China's most senior former military officers, Xu Caihou, and former domestic security chief Zhou Yongkang are among many top officials who have been caught up in the anti-graft campaign.
