Damascus, Nov 2 (Prensa Latina) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Syria stated that the mass graves discovered in the province of Raqqa are a clear example of the massacres committed by the US-led coalition, and demanded an investigation. In addition to the systematic use of internationally banned weapons, such as white phosphorus bombs, the coalition attacks residential neighborhoods in towns of the provinces of Deir Ezzor, Raqqa, Hassakeh and Aleppo, the document said.
The statement noted that many mass graves with more than 8,000 bodies were recently found in the city of Raqqa, and added that most of victims are children, women and elderly people.
'Syria calls on the UN Security Council to assume its responsibilities for maintaining international security and peace, as well as to take immediate actions to stop the Coalition's crimes against the Syrian people and to prevent their repetition,' the report concludes.
