ISIL executed over 3,000 people in Syria in one year: Report
ISIL Takfiri terrorist group has executed over 3,000 people across Syria, including hundreds of civilians, in the past year since it proclaimed a so-called “caliphate,” a pro-opposition monitoring group reports.
Among close to 3,200 “documented” executions since June 29, 2014, by the ISIL were 1,787 civilians, including 74 children, said the UK-based so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) in a Sunday statement.
According to SOHR, nearly half of the civilians executed by the Takfiri group were members of the Sunni Shaitat tribe that revolted against ISIL terrorists last year in the city of Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria. It added that 930 members of the clan were killed by the radical militants.
The figure also includes recent massacres committed by ISIL terrorists in Syria’s northern Kurdish town of Kobani, which was briefly infiltrated earlier this week by the Takfiri militants.
SOHR noted that it has documented at least 223 executions in Kobani, located near the Turkish border, this week.
According to the monitoring group, ISIL has also executed 216 rival militants and Kurdish fighters as well as 900 Syrian government troops.
The Takfiri militants, according to the SOHR statement, also executed 143 of its own members for spying.
The ISIL terrorist group grew out of a vast number of al-Qaeda-linked Syrian and foreign-based militants that were sponsored and armed by US-led Western nations and their regional allies, particularly Saudi Arabia, Qatar, neighboring Turkey and Jordan as well as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
