A shocking discovery has been made of a mass grave said to be containing bodies of hundreds of police officers who have been beheaded.

It has been revealed that a mass grave has been found  filled up with beheaded policemen.

This revelation was made by the Human Rights Watch (HRW).

The mass grave had been discovered in a bush near Mosul by Iraqi Security Forces 10 days ago but revelation that it contains the bodies of  300 beheaded former local police officers executed by Islamic State, has just been made.

Joe Stork, Deputy Middle East Director at HRW, said in a statement on Thursday in Cairo that the bodies in the grave appeared to be of men killed in custody.

He cited witnesses as saying they believe that at the end of October, Islamic State massacred several hundred former policemen they had been holding as prisoners. “Islamic State should be held accountable for these crimes against humanity.

The Iraqi army had earlier said that the same mass grave, discovered on Nov. 7, contained about 100 decapitated bodies thrown into a rubbish pit.

Stork, however, said the grave was found on the grounds of the agricultural college in Hammam al-Alil, 15 kilometres south of Mosul.
