“A patrol of the Azadi police station found on Friday evening the burnt body of a man with an Iranian passport at the Abu Alluk graveyard in the northern Kirkuk area of al-Musalla,” Brig. Sarhad Qader, the director of the Kirkuk Districts’ Police Department (KDPD), told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

“The man is of the name Aziz Hassan Hussein. His body was removed to a morgue,” Qader said, adding the incident is currently under investigation.
