(MENAFN) The city council in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, which was the "capital of ISIS" for three years up until 2017 during the country's civil war, said, on Wednesday, approximately 600 dead bodies were disinterred from a mass grave there.
The city is now under the control Kurdish-Syrian forces and U.S.-led coalition forces.
The city council emphasized this is the 14th mass grave found in Raqqa and the nearby area.
The locations of an Italian Jesuit priest who disappeared in Raqqa in July 2013 are still unidentified.
