Investigators have discovered more mass graves in southern Iraq, graves that “are believed to contain the bodies of people killed by Saddam Hussein’s government, including one estimated to hold 5,000 bodies, Iraqi officials say.”

The New York Times ran the story on page 6. If there’s been broadcast coverage I guess I’ve missed it.

“At least 290 grave sites containing the remains of some 300,000 people have been found since the American invasion two years ago, Iraqi officials say,” according to the Times.
