Islamist Militants Slaughter Dozens of Iraqi Soldiers in Mass Graves – (GRAPHIC IMAGES)

‘Peace be upon you’ is a favoured greeting by Muslims… well not all Muslims. Sunni Muslim militants fighting to set up a hardline Islamic regime in Iraq posted shocking photos over the weekend showing captured Iraqi government soldiers being loaded by the dozen onto trucks, then gunned down in a mass grave on the side of the road.[1]

The graphic images were taken in the Salahuddin province north of Baghdad, after militants with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant seized an Iraqi Army base in the area, reported the Long War Journal, a publication which tracks Islamist militant groups.

A photo essay posted on social media platforms associated with the militant group appeared to document the disturbing events as they played out.

(Warning: some of the images are graphic and may be unsettling to some readers.)

The photos documented dozens of men being loaded onto flatbed trucks then taken to a shallow ditch where it appears that they were summarily executed face down with their hands tied behind their backs.

After the men were dead, the ISIL militants appeared to pose with their guns aimed at the corpses lined up in the ditch and holding black flags. The men were dressed in civilian clothing but were reported to be Iraqi soldiers. Tikrit and Mosul were seized by ISIL last week during which Iraqi Army soldiers were reported to have taken off their uniforms as they fled to avoid being identified as government loyalists.

Long War Journal reported that some of the ISIL fighters were seen holding U.S.-made M-16s that were likely seized from facilities that had previously been used by the Iraqi Army and police.

The Associated Press reported on Sunday that captions posted with the photos said that the killings were to avenge the death of an ISIL commander, Abdul-Rahman al-Beilawy.

TheBlaze cannot independently authenticate the photos or the video; however, Iraq’s top military spokesman, Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, confirmed the photos’ authenticity to the AP and said he was aware of the mass murder of captured Iraqi soldiers.

A savage people who revel and rejoice in not only taking a life but playing with the dead carcasses by taking pictures and flashing around heads of the murdered, disgusting.
