Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBEIRUT, Lebanon — Two hundred corpses, including those of people believed to have been executed by the Islamic State group, are found near the Syrian city of Raqqa, a local official and a war monitor say.
The mass grave contains the bodies of five men in orange jumpsuits of the kind typically worn by IS hostages, Yasser al-Khamees and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights say.
More bodies could be uncovered as search operations continue, Khamees says.
