A mass grave containing the decapitated bodies of at least 12 people has been discovered near a hotel used by foreigners that was overrun by Islamic State militants in Mozambique.
Palma, a coastal town in Mozambiqueâs northern Cabo Delgado province, was attacked by militants wielding machetes, assault rifles and heavy weapons on March 24.
The 12 bodies were found under a large mango tree near the entrance of the Amarula Hotel, an establishment favoured by foreign contractors working on a nearby natural gas project run by the French oil giant Total.
