Iraq starts excavation of large mass grave left by Islamic State

Iraqi officials have begun the excavation of what is believed to be a mass grave left behind by the Islamic State extremist group during its rampage across the country a decade ago. The operation is initially limited to gathering visible human remains and surface evidence while preparing for a full exhumation that officials say will require international support.
