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 citizen’s 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.’ |
