Salah al-Din, Jun 29, (VOI) – A force from the Iraqi army’s Quick Intervention unit unearthed a mass grave west of the city of Samarra containing 50 decomposed bodies, the unit commander said on Sunday.
“The grave, discovered on Saturday evening in the area of al-Tharthar, (30 km) west of Samarra, contained 50 bodies in the form of skeletons. Some of them were buried randomly,” Maj. Muthanna Shakir told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).
“The victims were clad in civilian clothes and showed signs of having been shot,” said Shakir, adding the corpses were found in area where al-Qaeda network used to control in the past.
