Members of the Daesh militant group have executed nearly a dozen people in Iraq’s embattled northern city of Mosul as they continue perpetrating crimes against humanity on a large scale in the areas under their control.
The spokesman for the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in Mosul, Saeed Mamouzini, told Arabic-language al-Sumaria satellite television network that Daesh extremists have killed ten civilians in the central Bab al-Toub neighborhood of the city, which is located some 400 kilometers (248 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad.
Mamouzini added that the victims were murdered in front of their families after Daesh extremists accused them of opposing their ideology and school of thought.
The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by gruesome violence ever since the ISIL Takfiri terrorists mounted an offensive in June 2014.
The militants have been committing vicious crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians and others.
