An Iraqi official says forensic teams in the newly liberated city of Tikrit have started exhuming bodies from a mass grave believed to contain hundreds of soldiers killed by ISIS militants last year.
Kamil Amin, from Iraq's Human Rights Ministry, says work started on Monday on eight locations inside Tikrit's complex of presidential palaces, where much of the killing is believed to have taken place.
Amin told The Associated Press at least 12 bodies were exhumed on Monday.
ISIS militants overran Saddam Hussein's hometown last June, capturing around 1,700 soldiers as they were trying to leave Camp Speicher, an air base previously used by U.S. troops on the outskirt of Tikrit.
ISIS claimed to have killed the troops shortly afterward and posted videos purported to show their mass killings.

ISIS publically beheads four men in northern Iraq
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has beheaded four men for armed robbery and murder in the northern Iraqi province of Nineveh, according to an online propaganda video seen by AFP on Tuesday.
The undated video portrays the group, which has been steadily retreating recently from Iraqi forces backed by Iran and a U.S.-led coalition and Iran, as still capable of maintaining law and order and dispensing their version of justice.
A masked militant in front of a large crowd reads out over a loudspeaker the charges of which the men were convicted by the "Islamic Court in the State of Nineveh."
A masked executioner is then shown beheading four men with a sword, after which their bodies are hung on crosses in the back of a small pickup truck.
