ABC News: US commandos searching Syria for executed hostages' remains: Officials
American special operations forces and FBI agents on the ground in Syria are actively searching sites where they believe Western hostages, including Americans executed by ISIS, may have been buried, counterterrorism officials told ABC News.
Three officials briefed on the ground searches by U.S. commandos -- the first real effort to recover the remains of two American journalists and two American humanitarian aid workers killed from 2014 to 2015 -- said they were undertaken on the basis of new intelligence from two ISIS members from London captured last month by Syrian Kurds.

WNU Editor: Finding these burial sites must be one of the most dangerous jobs in Syria right now. As to relying on the intel from captured ISIS fighters and executioners to find these sites .... considering the sources .... I am very skeptical they will be successful.

It's also a job that'll give you PTSD for sure. Digging through mass graves, the smell etc. Not a comfy office job for sure.
I wonder how many women fight loudly and protest to do this job..they always seem to want the easy fat paycheck jobs for "equality"..but I never see them in coal mines, on oil platforms or digging through mass graves. Must be nice to get equality only in the nice jobs.
