Arbil, Iraq--The remains of 23 men from Iraq's Yazidi religious minority were found when a mass grave was excavated in northern Iraq, an official said Saturday.

A team opened the grave, which was found near the village of Bardiyan based on a tip from a local resident, on Friday, said Fuad Othman, a spokesman for the Kurdish regional government.
