ISIL Takfiris kill 300 people in western Iraq
ISIL Takfiri militants have reportedly executed 300 people in Iraq’s troubled western province of al-Anbar.
Sheikh Naim al-Gaoud, the leader of Albu Nimr tribe, said on Thursday that ISIL extremists killed the victims in the border town of al-Qa’im, located nearly 400 kilometers (248 miles) northwest of the capital, Baghdad, English-language online newspaper Iraqi News reported.
Gaoud said that those executed were civilians as well as members of the Iraqi army and security forces. They were from the al-Karableh, Albu Mahal and Albu Salman tribes in the western sector of al-Anbar Province.
The development came a day after ISIL members executed 10 doctors in the Hammam al-Alil area, located some 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) south of militant-held Mosul, after the men refused to treat the wounded members of the terrorist group.
The ISIL started its campaign of terror in Iraq in early June 2014. The heavily-armed militants took control of Mosul before sweeping through parts of the country’s Sunni Arab heartland.
The terrorists have been carrying out horrific acts of violence, including public decapitations, against all Iraqi communities such as Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians.
Iraqi soldiers, police units, Kurdish forces, Shia volunteers and Sunni tribesmen have succeeded in driving the ISIL terrorists out of some areas in Iraq.
