Mosul battle: 100 decapitated bodies in mass grave

The Iraqi military has found about 100 decapitated bodies in a mass grave south of the ISIL-held city of Mosul.


Brigadier-General Yahya Rasool, spokesman for the Joint Military Command, said the bodies were discovered on Monday near the town of Hammam al-Alil.

Most were reduced to skeletons, he told The Associated Press news agency. The grave was found about 14km from the southern outskirts of Mosul.

The Joint Operations Command said "Iraqi forces found ... 100 bodies of citizens with their heads cut off".
