Meanwhile, five Iraqi civilians trying to flee western Mosul were executed by Daesh (aka ISIS/IS/ISIL/Da’ish Al-Dawla) militants.
“Their bodies were dumped on the road leading to the positions of Iraqi security forces” in Mosul, federal police officer Sabhan Ali said.
He said Daesh always dumps the bodies of executed civilians “in an attempt to scare others from fleeing the city”.
In October 2016, the Iraqi army backed by US led coalition airstrikes and local allies on the ground, began a wide-ranging operation to retake Mosul, Daesh’s last bastion in northern Iraq, which the group captured in 2014.
