'Mass grave' uncovered in Iraq

http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/11/06/iraq.main/

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. and Iraqi troops found 22 corpses in Iraq's Lake Tharthar region, the U.S. military said on Tuesday.

The Iraqi Army and local security forces "are investigating the mass grave to determine the identities of the deceased and the causes of death for notification of their families." snip

U.S. and Iraqi troops have been conducting an operation in the same region since Sunday to target al Qaeda in Iraq.
