Takfiri ISIL terrorists have crushed at least a dozen Iraqi civilians to death in the country’s troubled northern city of Mosul as they continue their atrocious crimes on a large scale in the Arab country.

A local source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Arabic-language al-Sumaria satellite television network that the ISIL extremists placed the men on a road close to the city’s government building, situated some 400 kilometers (248 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad, on Friday evening, and then a bulldozer drove back and forth over the ill-fated civilians.

The source added that the victims were executed after ISIL Takfiris accused them of opposing their ideology, collaborating with Iraqi government forces and providing them with information about terrorist hideouts.

The development came a day after ISIL terrorists executed “six former officers of the Second Division of the Iraqi army” following their arrest in Mosul a year ago.

The execution took place in a public square in the city, an unnamed local source said, adding, “The officers had been arrested from their homes in Mosul in July last year, and had remained in detention until they were put to death.”

On July 5, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) spokesman in Mosul, Saeed Mamouzini, said the ISIL terrorist group had kidnapped 111 schoolchildren, mostly aged between 10 to 15 years.

The Takfiris then shifted the abductees to their training camps on the outskirts of the embattled northern Iraqi city, where they were being forced to undergo training to carry out acts of terror, according to Mamouzini.

The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by violence ever since Takfiri ISIL militants began their march through Iraqi territory in June 2014.

The heavily-armed terrorists took control of Mosul before sweeping through parts of the country’s heartland.
