An Iraqi tribe man executed in public by ISIS


slamic State extremists lined up and shot dead at least 50 Iraqi men, women and children from the same tribe today, officials alleged.
The killings, all committed in public, call down the death toll suffered by the Sunni Al Bu Nimr tribe in recent days to some 150, suggesting IS fighters now view them as a menace. Some Sunnis in the volatile province had previously defended the local expansion of ISIS and other militants in December.
Meanwhile, separate attacks around Baghdad killed at least 19 people, agencies alleged.
Today's attack on the Sunni tribe took place in the small town of Ras al-Maa, north of Ramadi, the provincial capital.
In that respect, the militant group killed at least 40 men, six women and four kids, tracing them up and photographing them one by one, senior tribesman Sheikh Naim al-God told The Associated Press. The militants also kidnapped another 17 people, he averred.
An official with the Anbar governor's office corroborated the tribesman's account. He talked on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to brief journalists.
Final week, ISIS fighters killed 50 members of the tribe, a day after wiping out 48 of them, according to several functionaries who have talked to the AP.
ISIS militants have overrun a large portion of Anbar province in a thrust to expand their territory across Iraq and Syria.
