’ISIL’ Releases Pictures of Mass Execution in Iraq
Local Editor
The "ISIL" terrorist group on Monday released pictures of the execution of 13 men described as anti-"jihadist" Sunni tribal fighters near the northern city of Tikrit.
Local residents confirmed that a mass execution had taken place on a large roundabout six kilometers east of the city of Tikrit at around 3:30 pm (1230 GMT).
The first picture shows 11 men kneeling, heads bowed, with one black-clad and masked gunman behind each one and black "ISIL" flags in the background.
The next picture shows the gunmen brandishing their handguns after the execution and in the third a small gathering of onlookers, including children, can be seen near 13 bodies, which have been dragged off the roundabout's central island and onto the road.
Residents said the roundabout is at an intersection for roads leading to Tikrit, Kirkuk and the town of al-Alam.
They said the men who were executed were members of an anti-"ISIL" group of tribal fighters known as the Knights of al-Alam who were captured by extremists in Tikrit and al-Alam around 10 days earlier.
Iraqi government forces have inflicted a string of defeats on the terrorists in recent weeks.
