80 Bodies of Yazidi Women Discovered in Iraq

Two mass graves, containing about 80 bodies of middle-aged Yazidi women, have been discovered in Iraq.

It is considered that the women have been slaughtered and discarded in Sinjar. According to the local mayor Mahma Xelil, clumps of hair, bones and money belonging to the elder tribes-women were dispersed around a ditch.

It is also considered that those 80 women, aged between 40 and 80 years old, have been killed by ISIL.

The main intention of Islamic State is to dehumanize the Yazidi people and extirpate the race. The ancient tribe can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia and Iraq, but are considered as devil worshippers by ISIL militants, Sputnik News reports.
