Suleiman told Shafaq News agency that the remains were found in six mass graves in Sinjar, noting that guns and bullets were found at the same sites. The remains were transferred to the forensic medicine department in Baghdad to be examined and to determine the identity of the victims. For his part, the head of the Eyzidi Organization for Documentation, Khairy Ali, said that the concerned teams will hopefully be able to excavate the Alo Antar mass grave, near Tal Afar, which includes more than 2000 Yazidi victims killed by ISIS in 2014.
