Iraqi authorities announced on Sunday that they unearthed 123 bodies from one of the worst crimes ISIS carried out after it seized control of a third of Iraq in a lightning offensive between 2014-2017.
In June 2014, ISIS attacked Badush prison, freeing and loading 600 prisoners, mainly Shiite inmates, onto trucks, before driving them to a ravine and shooting them.
A mass grave was discovered after Iraqi forces retook control of the area in March 2017.
