500 ‘victims of Isis’ found in mass grave

MASS grave containing the remains of about 500 people has been found at Badoush prison near Mosul, Iraqi forces say.

The Shia-led Hashd al-Shaabi forces said the victims were civilian prisoners murdered by Isis.

Isis is alleged to have killed up to 600 inmates, most of them Shia Muslims, when it seized Mosul in 2014.

The prison was recaptured earlier this week.
