Iraqi authorities dig up mass grave in northern Iraq
Source: Xinhua

Iraqi authorities unearthed Thursday a mass grave with 14 bodies of people believed to be killed earlier by al-Qaida militants in Salahudin province, a provincial police source said.

The bodies were found in Shinana, an open area located to the west of Samarra city, some 120 km north of Baghdad, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

"The bodies were badly decomposed as experts believed the victims were killed more than a year ago," the source said.

3. Murders are the fault of the people who commit them.
It has nothing to do with one's political views.
