Suspected mass graves in Sinjar
There are new reports of Islamic State atrocities in northern Iraq. Another mass grave has reportedly been found in Sinjar, which Kurdish fighters recently captured from IS militants. Kurdish sources say they believe it contains about fifty bodies. Sinjar was a centre of the Yazidi religious minority - which IS regards as heretical. On Saturday a separate site was discovered that's thought to hold the remains of nearly eighty women. Quentin Sommerville has been to that site
