Baghdad, November 17 (RHC)-- In Iraq, two mass graves containing scores of bodies have been found in the area of Sinjar, after Iraqi Kurdish forces said they had reclaimed the area from the self-proclaimed Islamic State.
One of the graves reportedly contained the bodies of 78 women believed to be members of the Yazidi religious minority. A second grave contained about 50 or 60 bodies. And authorities say they expect to uncover additional graves.
