| The discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of 150 people in the southern city of Karbala was made public Monday. Sources from the sewerage administration authority in Karbala, 100 kilometres south of the capital, said the skeletons of 150 people were discovered in the eastern district of al-Abbasiya during maintenance work. The men, women and children whose remains were discovered are thought to have been executed in 1991 following a Shiite uprising. |
