On Monday, authorities stated they had discovered the remains of 143 unidentified people killed between 2014-2017 when the Daesh/ISIS terrorist group was in control of northern Iraq’s Nineveh province.

A mass grave was found in the Er-Rifaai area of the city of Mosul and the bodies were later referred to a forensic institute, the Civil Defense Directorate in the province indicated.

In mass graves in Iraq, it is estimated that there are corpses of 6,000 to 12,000 people.

In June 2014, while also holding some parts of Diyala and Kirkuk, the terrorist group had full control of provinces including Mosul, Saladin and Anbar.
