Mass graves found
near Kirkuk
(Al-Ittihad)
An eyewitness has informed the relevant parties of a
mass grave near the area that is located around the
Taza subdistrict, al-Sina'i quarter and al-Ma'amil
area in Kirkuk. Relevant parties and the media
arrived at the area and found remains of Kurds in
many mass graves that date back to the Baathist
regime era and the time of the Anfal campaign. All
the victims had Kurdish costumes on and they were
shot dead by bullets. The corpses are of women,
children, the elderly and young men.

Voter Registration Centers Now Closed
(Al-Taakhi)
The extended period for registration of voters in
Anbaar governorate ended yesterday, leading to the
closure of all registration centers in Iraq. Fareed
Ayar, an Independent Electoral Commission in Iraq (IECI)
member, said that voter registration centers were
closed at the end of last month except the
governorate of Anbar. He said the IECI decided to
extend the deadline there for one more week because
of the unstable security situation in some parts of
that governorate, as well as responding to the
desire of the Sunnis Conference in Iraq, which asked
the IECI to extend the deadline because of security
difficulties.
