Iraqi police find two mass graves of massacred women and children in the city of Ramadi

Iraqi police have unearthed two mass graves in the western city of Ramadi, with bodies of about 40 people killed by ISIS during the militant Sunni group's reign of terror in the city. The officials said ISIS militants who were captured and arrested after Iraqi forces routed the extremists led authorities to the site of the mass graves, inside the city's soccer stadium. Bodies of women and children were among those found in the two graves, along with bodies of men in civilian clothes, said the officials.

Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar, fell to IS in May, a major setback for U.S.-allied Iraqi forces at the time. It was liberated in December.There have been many instances of mass graves being uncovered in territory wrested from IS militants in Iraq and Syria - thousands of people have been killed in summary and extrajudicial killings by the Sunni militants and the graves have been a dark testimony to the group's brutality.
