Post-Saddam Mass Grave found in Iraq
Edited on Mon Dec-03-07 09:20 AM by ck4829
A mass grave containing the remains of 12 people, including a paramedic who disappeared more than a year ago, was unearthed in central Iraq in an area long controlled by al-Qaida, officials said Monday.

Two of the decomposed bodies were beheaded, according to an official at the general hospital in Fallujah, where the bodies were taken after their discovery north of the Anbar province city on Sunday.

Hospital officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to release details of the discovery, said some appeared to have been killed as recently as four months ago, and some of the deaths dated to 18 months ago.

Along with the bodies was a Health Ministry card that belonged to the missing Iraqi paramedic, according to footage from AP Television News.

1. They found one about a month ago.
This is a new one right?

I expect they will find many, many more in the post American-Occupation.

1.2 million dead Iraqis, but only 70-80,000 *official* bodies.

4. Don't call these mass graves.
Mass graves are what they find in Honduras or El Salvador or Bosnia and they have two or three thousand bodies in them. 12 bodies is not a mass grave.
