Families of Missing IS Victims Beg for Answers as New Mass Graves Discovered
in Northeast Syria

Nisan Ahmado

   As local authorities in northeastern Syria announce the discovery of
   new mass graves belonging to the victims of Islamic State in Raqqa,
   families whose loved ones disappeared during the group's control over
   the region hope they might finally get some answers.

   The First Responders, a rescue and recovery team in northeastern Syria,
   earlier this month announced finding a mass grave in the western
   outskirt of Raqqa's Farusiya, raising the number of discovered sites to
   five this year.
