"Hundreds of Iraqis whose loved ones vanished during the 1991 Shiite Muslim uprising watched Tuesday [May 13, 2003] as workers dug into a mass grave, a backhoe pulling up eight or nine bodies at a time, and perhaps as many as 3,000 over the past four days." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article describes the horrific executions that took place during the Shiite Muslim uprising, while detailing the excavation process that is currently taking place at the burial sites.
