BAGHDAD (AFP) — The Iraqi government said on Monday its forces have uncovered dozens of bodies buried in three mass graves in the restive province of Diyala.

The graves were found in the village of Khani Beni Saad, near the provincial capital of Baquba, after an "arrested terrorist gave information," a government statement said.

A security official from the region said the bodies were being dug out from the graves but did not specify how many corpses were there.

The people were killed by Al-Qaeda fighters, he said without giving further details.

They're just hiding there, underground.

Sad.

And each week we still lose soldiers.

7. This article is weak.

The article does not go into when the people died. Was it 2008? 2003? If the date was included, it would help us tell if it was an indication that things are bad now or if they were bad years ago.

9. If that was a representative photo taken at the site, the deaths would have to be from years ago.

And, what is their conclusive evidence that Al Qaeda did it?

10. The photo does not appear to be related.

The text of the article does not reference any of the details in the caption. They imply they are related, but it is not the case. A bad article.
