Dozens of bodies found in Iraq mass grave
BAGHDAD - US forces found around 40 bodies, bound and bearing gunshot wounds, in a mass grave south of Fallujah, the military said Saturday as US-led forces reported 26 militants killed in fighting in Baghdad. It was not immediately known who carried out the massacre or when the victims were killed.
A local Iraqi citizens tip led coalition forces to the site of a mass grave late Friday evening outside Ferris, approximately 35 kilometers (21 miles) south of Fallujah, the military said in a statement. Coalition forces uncovered 35 to 40 bodies at the site. The remains were bound and had gunshot wounds.
