              Iraq mass graves yield 100 bodies
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008
The grave found on Sunday was in the village of al-Guba, 80 km north of Baghdad, in the troubled Diyala province, where al Qaeda Sunni Arab militants have regrouped after being driven out of other parts of the country. Most of the bodies had their hands bound and gunshot wounds in the head. Some were decomposed, according to the military source, who declined to be named. A senior security spokesman in Baghdad, Major-General Qassim Moussawi, said police and Iraqi military had uncovered 51 bodies in a grave on April 17 in Mahmudiya, a town 30 km south of Baghdad. “We received information from some citizens that there are bodies in the al-Askari neighborhood in Mahmudiya. We searched the neighborhood and found the bodies,” Moussawi said. He added that security forces had taken them to the morgue of a local hospital and some families had already identified the victims as their relatives.
