About 50 dead bodies were discovered Tuesday in a mass grave northwest of Baghdad, Iraqi officials said.

 

US-backed Sunni tribesmen found the grave while patrolling the village of Jazeerah, 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of Samarra near Lake Tharthar, said Col. Mazin Younis Hussein, commander of the Samarra support force, a group of local men working with US forces. (AP)
