Rainwater has exposed a new mass grave in Sinjar. Witnesses to the executions estimate the grave contains about 123 bodies. It has yet to be excavated, because it has been booby-trapped with explosives. It is the sixth mass grave found so far.
At least 58 were killed and 29 were wounded in recent violence:
A suicide bomber killed seven people and wounded 17 more at a checkpoint in Tuz Khormato. Responsibility for the bombing has not been taken. In recent weeks, tensions in Tuz Khormato ran high as Shi’ite militiamen and Kurdish Peshmerga clashed.
