Iraq held a mass funeral on Tuesday for 47 members of its security forces who were executed by the Islamic State group and recently discovered in a mass grave. These personnel were killed a decade ago during the period when Islamic State controlled territory within Iraq from 2014 to 2017. The discovery highlights the continued impact of the group’s brutal rule and the ongoing efforts to locate those who disappeared during that time. The United Nations estimates over 200 mass graves may exist in Iraq, potentially containing the remains of up to 12,000 people killed in mass executions. Iraqi authorities are actively uncovering these graves, with many concentrated in urban areas across Iraq. This latest finding underscores the scale of the violence and the long process of accounting for victims of Islamic State's reign in Iraq.
