Mass Graves Of ISIS Fighters Unearthed In Iraq
On Sunday, Iraqi authorities said they have unearthed the remains of 85 ISIS fighters and their relatives from a mass grave in the northern city of Mosul.
The remains of 35 people, killed between 2016 and 2017, were dug up Saturday and 50 more bodies were found Sunday.
The work to exhume the remains is ongoing, said Hassan Wathiq al-Anzi, head of forensics in northern Iraq’s Nineveh province.
Workers unearthed bones and skulls, which they placed in black bags for transportation to the forensic department, an AFP correspondent said.
ISIS seized large swathes of Iraqi territory in 2014, killing thousands before Baghdad declared victory in 2017.
The United Nations says the group left behind more than 200 mass graves that could contain as many as 12,000 bodies.
