The remains of Saber Mozan Medhoush, whose body was found on June 4, 2003 at a mass grave of 120 in Al-Karkh about 20 miles north of Baghdad is put into the ground at Najaf Cemetery. Khitam Abdalah mourns as her uncle is buried. Mozan, 22, who was a member of the Communist Party, was taken from his home in 1986, put in jail and eventually taken out and shot in the head by the Iraqi military under orders from Saddam Hussein. The body was taken to his family's home in Sader City in Baghdad before it was taken to Najaf Cemetery and buried.
