More than 200 mass graves discovered in Iraq: UN report
2018-11-07
[Al Jazeera] More than 200 graves containing the corpses of thousands of victims have been discovered in areas formerly controlled by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS, also known as ISIS), a UN report said.

The report by the UN Human Rights Office and the UN Assistance Mission documented the existence of 202 mass grave sites in the northern and western Iraqi governorates of Nineveh, Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
Salah al-Din and Anbar.

The dead include women, children, the elderly and disabled, as well as members of Iraq's armed forces and police, the report said.

These deaths occurred in what the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
has called a systematic and widespread campaign of violence, "which may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide".

It may be difficult to specify the exact number of people in the graves, with the smallest site in west djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
believed to contain eight bodies while the biggest in the Khasfa sinkhole south of Mosul is believed to contain thousands of corpses.

The UN has said previously that almost 33,000 non-combatants were killed by the group in Iraq, with more than 55,000 injured.
