Identifying the remains

Iraqi man Ghirayer Ali kisses the skull of his son Rahim, as his remains are the remains of his son are unearthed, at a cemetery for those who disappeared during Saddam Hussein's regime which is newly-accessible to Iraqi citizens, in Abu Ghraib, outside Baghdad, Thursday. Rahim's family says he was 32 in the year 2000, when government authorities took him away without giving any reason, and only yesterday did his family discover he was buried here in one of hundreds of numbered graves. A list of the former Saddam government which matches numbers to names has just been made available, allowing for proper burial.
