Raqqa after Isis: Mass grave reveals horror of city’s final battle

The gravediggers lift the shrouded body delicately from the trench, just as they have done hundreds of times before. The routine is familiar by now, and yet a sombre mood falls over them as they pull back the cloth. 

“You can tell the fighters by their clothes,” says forensic assistant Abd Arawf Al Ahmed, breaking the silence. “This is not a fighter.”

The examination doesn’t last long. In under two minutes, Ahmed is able to determine that the deceased was a woman, in her late 20s, and that she was likely brought here from the hospital. The cause of death is unknown.

Unfortunately, they won't let me read the article unless I sign up "for free" with a credit card.

@Sanguine

I noticed that when I went back to the article but when I took it off of Kyle Orton's twitter, I did not get that message on the FIRST TIME reading it.

Then go down to the tweet by this Pieter Van Ostaeyen

Van Ostaeyen's twitter is: https://twitter.com/p_vanostaeyen

Apologies about this, I didn't think the Independent.co.uk asked for additional info.  That's a bit new to me.

I got the message again. I don't know what to think.  Had not seen that before.

Understood, Tom.  We just won't give them clicks.

Disable javascript in your broswer, then go to the page again.

After doing this, the text of the article "comes through", but none of "the other crap".

I use this trick VERY often.
