The Iraqi armed troops are waging a large-scale operation against the Daesh terrorist group , backed by Saudi Arabia, in the area of Al-Huwaji in the country ,targeting squeezing terrorists from the part of the country that they had taken control for several years.
According to the command of the army, Iraqi troops have found a massive grave “with bodies of dead soldiers, policemen; approximately 50 people executed by the Daesh in the district of Hawija.”
According to the head of the police of the province of Kirkuk, the specialists aimed at studying the remains, as “hundreds of other Iraqi soldiers and policemen who fought against extremists are considered missing.”
According to reports, over 100 civilians lost in Syrian Saadia earlier, and “the victims in the grave were executed by Daesh during its control of Saadiya after June 2014,” Diyala Organization for Human Rights leader said.
Earlier, near the village of Abu-Sahra, located in the south-east of El-Huweiji, two similar graves have already been found , full of the remains of Iraqi soldiers.
