Foreign media have named it <x0).Arreeology of horror”: excavations in areas that were once the fortress of Islamic potassium have exposed the extreme atrocities of Islamic State.
The latest of them is the mass grave found in a football field, near one of the hospitals near the centre of Raqqa, former capital of I SIS in Syria.
According to Abdallah al Erian, official of the new Kurdish council currently searching the area, at least 50 troops have been found so far, but are suspected to have been buried there over 200 people.
The victims may be civilians and prisoners executed at the last moments of Califat's fall, while militants are likely to be among them. Hospital and football fields had remained in the hands of I SIS during final battle for Raqqa.
The dead are buried in a rash and rage. It seems that there were no other places to decide, explains Al Erian. Kurdish authorities and the province's own civilian residents say the vast majority of mass graves opened in that dark period of time for them have not yet been discovered, such is the level of Islamic state barbarities in the country.
Similar situations are reported in Mosul and the Christian region of Nineveh. There has yet to be a systematic verification of the terrain around Mosul's largest prison, where the summer of 2014, the militants of I The SIS tortured and killed hundreds of Iraqi soldiers, policemen and functionaries.
