IS left 200 mass graves in Iraq - UN
6 November 2018
More than 200 mass graves containing thousands of bodies have been found in areas of Iraq that were once controlled by the Islamic State (IS) group, a UN investigation has found.
The graves were found in the north and western governorates of Nineveh, Kirkuk, Salahuddin and Anbar.
They could contain as many as 12,000 victims, the UN report said.
IS seized parts of Iraq in 2014 and imposed brutal rule, commonly killing anyone of whom it disapproved.
