Islamic State wages psych war on Iraqi troops
[Iraq Sun] Islamic State, the al-Qaeda spin-off that seized wide swaths of Iraq almost unopposed last month, has released a video telling Iraqi soldiers who may still have some fight in them that they risk being rounded up en masse and executed.Iraq's army unraveled when the Sunni snuffies staged a lightning advance through northern towns and cities, building on territory their comrades captured earlier in the west of the country, a major OPEC oil producer. Thousands of soldiers fled, prompting Iraq's top holy man to call on compatriots to take up arms against the radical faction that has declared a medieval-style caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria and aims to march on the capital Baghdad.
