Takfiri terrorists kill dozen comrades in western Iraq

The Takfiri terrorist group has reportedly executed a dozen of its own members in Iraq’s embattled western province of Anbar on charges of fleeing the battlefield.

A local source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said ISIL (Daesh) terrorists killed members of the terrorist outfit by firing squad in the village of al-Hadar, situated 120 km south of Mosul, on Saturday, Iraqi Media News Agency reported.

The source added that the slain militants were accused of escaping clashes with Iraqi government forces in the province.

On January 26, Jabbar al-Mamouri, a commander of the pro-government Popular Mobilization units, said takfiri terrorists had killed four militant commanders along with three other members of the terrorist group by firing squad in Hawijah district, located about 282 km north of the capital, Baghdad.

The slain extremists were accused of fleeing the clashes with government forces in the predominantly Sunni village of Tal Kusaiba, situated some 35 km east of Salahuddin’s provincial capital city of Tikrit.

The executions came only two days after Takfiris killed three of its own commanders in Iraq’s northern province of Nineveh after the militants sought to break away from the terrorist outfit and escape the city of Mosul, located some 400 km north of Baghdad.
