In Iraq, some mass graves have been found in the Hauiza town which has been freed from militant Islamic State (IS). The bodies of 400 people have been reported in these mass graves, the Iraqi army said. Iraq's Kirkuk Province Governor Rakan Said said the militants had massacre their bodies after killing people at an airfield near the city of Hauiza.
Some bodies found in the graveyard have civilian clothes, but most of the body is wearing spoons. This type of dress was worn before killing a person with the brutal justice of the IS. Rakan Said said that the Hauiza Air Base was turned into 'murder'. General Mourtada al-Luawi of the Iraqi army said they had found mass graves by talking to local witnesses. After the deportation of Iraq's occupied territories, the country's military has found many mass graves in those places. However, last year, the Associated Press (AP) poll conducted a survey of 72 massacres in IS controlled areas and cities. The bodies of 500,000 people have been buried in those mass graves and 15,000 people have been buried.
