(IraqiNews.com) Nineveh – One hundred headless dead bodies were found inside the Faculty of Agriculture south of Mosul, Nineveh, as federal police toured the liberated neighborhood of Hammam Al-Alil, media officials with the Ministry of Defense reported.
“Iraqi forces, having liberated Hamam al-Alil neighborhood, and inside the Faculty of Agriculture, ran into a new crime discovering one hundred dead bodies of citizens,” the officials reported, blaming the massacre on extremist Islamic State fighters.
“Specialized teams will be sent to investigate that heinous crime,” said the officials.
Since it took vast parts of Iraq in 2014, ISIS has become notorious for beheadings and brutal executions of its local opponents and foreign workers, posting shocking footage of the executions on its internet outlets.
The city of Mosul is currently the stage for battles between ISIS fighters and Iraqi joint forces seeking to clear the city of ISIS. Mosul is centrepiece of ISIS’s proclaimed “Caliphate”, but the group ceded reference to the city as ts capital under the brunt of losses it has sustained due to the security offensive.
