The spokesperson for the General Authority for Research and Identification of Missing Persons, Abdelaziz al-Ja’fari said the two graves were discovered in Mashru’a Alrabet area in Tarhuna, formerly held by forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar.
The number of bodies found in the graves, however, was not specified by the spokesperson.
