Video: Is the Iraqi army executing IS fighters?
And do you care?
Anybody expect anything different in that part of the world? The ISIS has murdered soldiers, prisoners, civilians, wimmins, kidlings, and stray cats. They now can enjoy the whirlwind...
This is what happens when your idea of victory is to leave the battlefield to an armed and hostile enemy.
[OBSERVERS.FRANCE24] Videos on the Iranian version of YouTube, "Aparat", claim to show the darker side of how the Iraqi army carries out its war against the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) group.

The conflict engulfing Iraq is undeniably bloody. There are numerous, well-documented cases of atrocities carried out by the Islamic State group -- and the group itself flaunts the carnage it carries out by publishing videos. Human rights groups like Amnesia Amnesty International have also documented alleged war crimes carried out by both Iraqi Shiite militias and Kurdish Peshmerga forces. But these new videos allegedly show footage of atrocities carried out by the Iraqi army itself.

These videos are so grisly that we decided not to publish them and instead use screengrabs.

The first video apparently shows a prisoner, lying motionless on the ground with his hands tied. According to the caption, the man is a captured IS bad boy and the film was shot on a battlefield near djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
At about 0’44", one of the captors stands over the prisoner and fires point blank at his head. He continues to shoot, again and again and again.

The second video captures a horrifying series of events unfold. It starts with the close-up image of a man identified as a Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
i member of the Islamic State group, who has been captured on the battlefield by the Iraqi army. The prisoner looks extremely young -- an open shirt shows his thin, child-like chest. He seems to be smiling as Iraqi soldiers crowd around to ask him questions and take selfies and videos with him.

The situation doesn’t seem volatile until 0’39" when someone seems to grab the young man by his collar and drag him forward. Shortly thereafter, you see a man wearing a red beret--worn by officers in the Iraqi army.

The video then jumps to a new cut showing the young prisoner being dragged outside by a crowd. There’s another cut and you see the young man splayed out on the ground. An Iraqi soldier takes aim and shoots him from a few feet away, firing many times. The next sickening shots show the young man’s lifeless body and went kaboom! head.

Under international law, the execution of a hostage or war prisoner is considered a "war crime".
