| Mass grave found in Karbala |
| 2005-12-26 |
| The discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of 150 people in the southern city of Karbala was made public Monday. Sources from the sewerage administration authority in Karbala, 100 kilometres south of the capital, said the skeletons of 150 people were discovered in the eastern district of al-Abbasiya during maintenance work. The men, women and children whose remains were discovered are thought to have been executed in 1991 following a Shiite uprising. |

| #3 Earlier this year, I read a German article (Spiegel?) about mass graves that stated the Iraqis have found 550,000 graves so far (many bodies not yet recovered). The toll the Iraqis are giving is 800,000+ plus killed, not including the Iran-Iraq war dead, during Saddam's years in power. |
