Daesh terrorists execute 18 in Iraq’s Kirkuk
The Daesh (ISIL) Takfiri terrorists have executed at least 18 people in Iraq's northern province of Kirkuk.
According to a local source in the provincial capital, Kirkuk, the people were executed in the southern district of Hawija on charges of spying and cooperation with the government.
Daesh terrorists hanged the bodies of a number of the victims from electricity poles and dragged others alive on the streets until they died, the source said.
In a separate development, at least three people were injured when a mortar shell fired by the Takfiri terrorists landed in an area of a village northeast of the city of Baqubah, the capital city of Diyala Province.
“Two mortar shells landed, this evening, in the village of Mukhisa, injuring three civilians,” a local source said.
In Ramadi, the capital of the western province of Anbar, the Iraqi police forces managed to kill nine Daesh terrorists.
“A force from the federal police managed to kill nine members of ISIS (Daesh) after targeting their vehicle in Jowiba area east of Ramadi,” said Raed Shakir Jawdat, a federal police captain.
The Iraqi forces have made major advances against the terrorists in Anbar.
The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by Takfiri violence since the summer of 2014.
Iraqi army soldiers and the Popular Mobilization Units have joined forces to liberate the terrorist-held regions.
