In addition to adding to the PR war between Iraq and the ISIS militants taking over the country’s west, the release of an ISIS video today also uncovered a massacre in Tikrit, with hundreds executed.
Details are scant, but the ISIS video shows mass executions of dozens of captives, mostly captured Iraqi soldiers taken during the fight over control of the important city.
The video shows more than just the executions, however, panning over a scene where hundreds of bodies have been dumped, before executing a handful of additional captives and dumping them as well.
The scope of the massacre remains unclear, but is just the latest in a long line of signs that the death toll across Iraq is soaring, both from the fighting and from the blood-letting by both sides when the battle ends.
They all are very thankful to Barack Hussein Obama, Saudis and Qatari Stone Age regime, the EU Neo fascism governing body and they appreciate the afford made by us Democratic Party creating such giving president.
Do not give Israel any ideas!
These images are from Mosul a month ago.
Human Rights Watch was able to verify the locations. The same visuals are up on the http://www.hwr.org web site dated June 26th and June 27th.
Similar murders happened at Tikrit a month ago. The victims were a class of Iraqi Air Force cadets. A number of the bodies were recovered downstream from the Tigris river.
However, a combined Iraqi-Iranian force retook Tikrit on Sunday, July 27th, killing some 300 ISIS raiders of a 500 man force. An estimated 200 additional ISIS raiders are the object of a house-to-house search of western Tikrit underway this week.
Retaking Tikrit followed a military tactical approach that the Iranians used back in the 1980s and then again in Syria during the Battle of Qusayr in 2012.
Baghdad reported on Monday that the death toll from ISIS murders was up over 6,000 people. Predominantly Shia and Christian males. The report avoided using the words for “psychopath.”
How many Arab Sunni psychos does it take to screw in a light bulb? Whatever….
Why is the US deploying missiles in Romania, Poland and on 32 ships in the Mediterranean Sea ? To defend us from Iran claim the US and NATO-chief AFR. How can anyone believe such nonsense ? The Russians may well react by adopting Launch On Warning and that's the end of History because of the bloody fools in the Pentagon.
It’s rather disturbing that we are providing weapons to the Syrian rebellion and that those weapons are no doubt ending up with Isis. It is disturbing that isis captured weapons that we left in Iraq. It is disturbing the Iraq is what it is after we spent trillions of dollars and the lives countless servicemen. It is disturbing that we have not attempted to correct course.
