The Guardian: Bodies of soldiers killed by Isis exhumed from Tikrit mass grave
Teams in newly liberated Iraqi city have started excavating site believed to contain hundreds of soldiers killed by militants
An Iraqi official says teams in the newly liberated city of Tikrit have started exhuming bodies from a mass grave believed to contain hundreds of soldiers killed by Islamic State militants last year.
About 1,700 soldiers were captured by the extremists in June as they were trying to flee Camp Speicher – an airbase on the outskirt of Tikrit that previously served as a US military facility – following an onslaught that stunned security forces and the military, which melted away as the militants advanced and captured key cities and towns in the country’s north and west.

ISIS creating a new Holocaust. Wouldn't that get Bibi ranting if the world attached Holocaust to what is happening courtesy of ISIS. It just might give him a distraction from the nuke issue in Iran.
