'Mass grave of Kuwaiti PoWs found in Iraq'

A mass grave of about 600 missing Kuwaiti prisoners of war has reportedly been discovered in Iraq.

It is believed the prisoners were taken from Kuwait during the first Gulf War in 1991.

Workers from the Iraqi National Congress say they made the grim find at an airbase in the town of Habbaniyah, north-west of Baghdad.

The Congress members were exiles opposed to Saddam Hussein, but have now returned to Iraq to help restore normality to the country.

INC workers say they uncovered the grave after tip-offs from locals that 600 Kuwaiti PoWs were buried there.

The INC operations centre in Baghdad said its officials have conducted initial tests at the excavation site, and 40 bodies have already been recovered.

Dr Ahmed Chalabi, leader of the INC, said: "We extend our deepest sympathies to the Kuwaiti people and hope it will now be possible to have a final accounting of their loved ones.

"This grim discovery, together with the mass grave sites being found across the country in cities like Hilla, reveal to the world the scope of the brutality of Saddam's regime, and his crimes against humanity.

"The world must act now to assist the Iraqi people with proper forensic experts and documentation specialists, so that the full extent of Saddam's crimes can be uncovered.

"Those who supported this regime are now witnessing the monster that they enabled."

Did a search... didn't find it..

God rest their souls..

[Miss Marple]

What a shame. I had hoped there might be a few yet alive.

More for the left to deny. They loved Saddam. His bunch did nothing wrong in the liberal's eyes. We were wrong to over-throw such a peace loving guy and his peace loving bunch of butchers. Nope, we were wrong. Saddam and his lover, Dan Blather were the only ones right. Now that Saddam is gone, Dan will only have his lover Castro's ass to lick.

What happened to Scott Spiecher..

"Those who supported this regime are now witnessing the monster that they enabled."

On the contrary, they are sipping margaritas poolside in Hollywood.

Wonder what amnesty international and human rights groups will say about the murder of POWs.

[MEG33]

Ouch..good point.

[Fred Mertz]

Now there's a project for Registered....

[Dog]

This is indeed sad news...

Did you ever doubt they had been killed? It is terrible and predictable. Hope may turn to mourning now for the loved ones.There is a horror revealed daily,it seems.A pox on the French,the Russians,the Syrians, the Germans,the Jordanians and all the peacenics. I just heard Michael Rivero on Cspan..a pox on him,too.We can't rid the world of all evil regimes but we got rid of one.

Accounting for all Kuwaiti POWs was one of the resolutions that Saddam violated.

[Jewels1091]

I wonder if the killed him when the war started...there have been no hints that I have been aware of about him since then...

[areafiftyone]

OMG - My prayers go out to the families! Everytime I see the people weeping over the mass graves my heart just breaks and I start crying with them! Those poor Kuwaitis and Iraqis!!! SADDAM I HOPE YOU ARE ROTTING IN HELL!!!

[Dog]

I thought we would find a few of them alive. Saddam kept a pilot from the Iran-Iraq war captive for over a decade..

[Wolfstar]

I suspect Scott Speicher's remains are somewhere in one of those mass graves. Tragically, it is possible his remains, as well as those of many others, will never be found.

[Wolfstar]

Thanks for reminding us. WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN IS (or was) A LEFTIST. Even Osama bin Laden said Hussein is a Socialist. Hussein's hero was Stalin, and his Ba'ath Party was modeled on the Soviet Communist Party.

Sipping margharitas and planning their vacation in Cuba.

Roger that.
