Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIraqi police say the mass grave with 100 decapitated bodies was found in Hamam al-Alil area, about 14 kilometers (8 miles) from the southern outskirts of Mosul, the last major IS-held Iraqi city.
“Federal police found a mass grave west of Hamam al-Alil in the agricultural college,” the police said in a statement that did not elaborate.
The Joint Operations Command said that “Iraqi forces found… 100 bodies of citizens with their heads cut off” at the college, and that specialized teams would investigate.
Iraqi forces have previously provided estimates of the number of victims in mass graves before they have been excavated and counted.
