Daesh kills 27 wounded members in northern Iraq

The Daesh Takfiri group has executed more than two dozen of its injured members in Iraq’s embattled northern province of Nineveh.

Saeed Mamouzini, the spokesman for the Kurdistan Democratic Party in Mosul, said on Tuesday that the terrorist group executed 27 of its wounded members in the old prison of the militant-held city of Mosul, Iraqi News online newspaper reported.

Mamouzini went on to say that the Takfiri group outfit was unable to treat its injured gunmen because of the lack of medical resources, adding that it had carried out similar executions during the past few days.

Elsewhere, in the western province of Anbar, Iraqi fighter jets pounded an arsenal and an improvised explosive devices factory belonging to the militant group in the al-Sofiya area east of the provincial capital Ramadi. At least 16 terrorists were killed in the air raid and 20 others sustained injuries.

Elsewhere in the province, Iraqi warplanes, in coordination with the Anbar Operations Command, bombed three Daesh headquarters in the al-Boshagel and al-Malahma areas in Khalidiya, 23 kilometers (14 miles) east of Ramadi. At least five members of the Takfiri group were slain in the airborne attacks and two of its vehicles were destroyed.

A so-called Daesh police chief was also killed in an airstrike at the entrance of Hawija town in the northern province of Kirkuk. Jassim Mohammed Shaker was slain on the spot when his vehicle was hit in the air raid.

The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by gruesome violence ever since Daesh terrorists began their campaign of terror in the country in June 2014.

The militants have been committing heinous crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians and others.

Units of Iraqi army soldiers and volunteer fighters are seeking to win back militant-held regions in joint operations.
