BAGHDAD (AFP) — Iraqi and US forces found 37 bodies in a mass grave uncovered in the restive province of Diyala, northeast of Baghdad, on Thursday, a US military statement said.
The grave was found near the town of Muqdadiyah in the province which is a stronghold of Al-Qaeda in Iraq militants.
Human rights groups believe there are hundreds of mass graves in Iraq of people killed during the former regime of executed dictator Saddam Hussein.
