Iraq buries dozens of security personnel killed by IS

Iraq held a mass funeral on Tuesday for 47 members of the security forces who were executed by the Islamic State group a decade ago and whose remains were found in a mass grave. Many remain missing after disappearing during the jihadist group's bloody rule over parts of Iraq from 2014 to 2017, with the United Nations estimating that there may be more than 200 graves containing up to 12,000 people killed in mass executions. Iraqi authorities continue to uncover new graves, which are concentrated in urban areas.
