Mass graves of victims of the EI discovered near Tikrit

A week after the release of Tikrit, Iraqis discover the extent of the massacres perpetrated by the Islamic state in the region.

Last June, the jihadists attacked Camp Speicher, a former US base. Ali survived. He says: "the fourth bullet was meant for me, but it did not hit me. The fifth killed the person next to me. I played dead, I fell to the ground. I was covered with the blood of my brothers and I let myself drove to the valley. "

In all, 1,700 soldiers of the Iraqi government army were executed in this region alone, north of Baghdad.

And while experts are trying to identify victims, fighting continues a few kilometers away.
