470 bodies exhumed from Tikrit mass graves

Iraq has exhumed the remains of 470 people believed to have been executed by jihadists near Tikrit last year in what is known as the Speicher massacre, the health minister said yesterday. In June 2014, armed men belonging or allied to the Islamic State group abducted hundreds of young, mostly Shia recruits from Speicher military base, just outside the city of Tikrit. They were then lined up in several locations and executed one by one, as shown in pictures and footage later released by ISIS.
