Iraqi security forces have discovered yet another mass grave containing the bodies of at least 400 people slain by Daesh terrorists in the city of Sinjar in northwestern Nineveh Province.

On Thursday, Al-Sumaria television network cited an informed Iraqi source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, as saying that the victims are mainly from the Izadi minority “brutally murdered” by Deash Takfiri terrorists.

Back in August 2014, Daesh terrorists overran Sinjar, killing, raping and enslaving large numbers of Izadi minority.

The region was recaptured in November 2015, during an operation by Iraqi Kurdish forces and Izadi fighters.

Since then, Iraqi security forces have discovered dozens of mass graves across Nineveh Province.
