The quiet had been that of death: the gym is filled with some 200 reassembled and partly clothed skeletons, wrapped in white cloth sheeting, from what was yesterday emerging as potentially one of the biggest and most gruesome mass grave sites of victims slaughtered by the regime of Saddam Hussein.

This is what happened to the victims of Musayyib: in the wake of the insurrection, anyone suspected with taking part was ordered or taken to an outdoor space, and boarded onto trucks and buses. The vehicles were then driven from the river valley out into nowhere. There, the captives were lined up - hands tied and blindfolded - and pushed into the bottom of the pits. And in this earthy tomb, they were machine-gunned and the dirt replaced by bulldozer, by way of crude cover.

I hope we find Saddam… dead or alive.
