UN Investigators Work to Prosecute Islamic State Terrorists

Margaret Besheer

   UNITED NATIONS - "I found myself under a pile of dead bodies," begins
   the somber Yazidi man named Kachi, speaking of the day Islamic State
   fighters terrorized his village in Iraq. "When I opened my eyes, I saw
   three of my brothers. They were next to me, they were dead. So were my
   nephews and cousins."

   Stories like Kachi's are no longer unfamiliar. The atrocities committed
   by the terror group as it pillaged Iraq and Syria in the last five
   years have been well-documented, including murder, rape and
   enslavement. Survivors are now fighting back, seeking justice and
   accountability for themselves and for the massacre of their families
   and their communities.
