|
[Rudaw] Kurdish Peshmerga forces have discovered a mass grave in the northwest of Kifri containing the bodies of at least ten members of the Iraqi army, a Peshmerga official told Rudaw on Thursday.
The mass grave holding members of the Iraqi army was found in a former Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) prison, which the terror group used during their grip on the country to imprison people, Mohammed Syasi, the deputy head of Qaratapa-Hamrin front told Rudaw.
The soldiers "were kidnapped by ISIS militias in 2018," Syasi said.
The mass grave was found between Palkana and Duraji villages, around 10 kilometers northwest of Kifri. It is one of hundreds of mass graves in the country.
Rudaw English reached out to Iraqi Grave Protection but they were not immediately available for comment.
There are more than 200 ISIS mass graves in the country that could contain up to 12,000 bodies, according to the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
Kurds find mass grave of Islamic State victims in Iraq
[IsraelTimes] Kurdish forces in northern Iraq find a mass grave containing the bodies of at least 11 Iraqi policemen presumed killed by jihadists, a peshmerga security official says.
“A mass grave was discovered on Thursday in the Duraji area” where there are many caves once used as hideouts by the Islamic State group (IS), the official says.
Duraji is in Salaheddin province in an area disputed between the federal government and the autonomous region of Kurdistan.
“The bodies of at least 11 Iraqi police officers have been taken from the grave so far” since the operation began in the morning, says the official. “We think they had been prisoners of IS in 2018,” the official says, adding that both peshmerga and Iraqi federal police were taking part in the search.
He says the mass grave was discovered as a result of “information obtained from IS hideouts in the region where the jihadists imprisoned members of the Iraqi forces they captured.”
