25 civilians killed by IS in Mosul ‘safe passageways’
[Iraq News] Civilians who attempted escaping from 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....
-held regions before and during battles between Iraqi troops and IS hard boyz cannot find safe passageways as they always face attacks by the IS bad boys, according to the Iraqi Observatory for Human Rights (IOHR)

At least 25 civilians have been killed since beginning of April on Abu Zaayan street, which is considered as one of the "safe routes" opened by Iraqi troops, IOHR said in a report on Sunday.

The report quoted Abu Omar al-Hayali, a displaced resident from western djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
who took to Abu Zaayan street, along with his and other families, to escape toward the troops, as saying "once we attempted escaping the IS-held regions, the snipers started targeting civilians."

"I saw a man and a woman in their twenties as they were rubbed out by a sniper," he said. "My family and I took shelter for twenty minutes behind a concrete wall to hide from the sniper. We were then able to pass the dangerous area with the help of Iraqi troops."

A journalist from Mosul, identifying himself with the pen-name Safaa Omar, told IOHR that the "safe passageways, that are still exposed to IS fires, are Nineveh public hospital route on al-Mahatta street and abu Zaayan street."

Meanwhile IOHR said that "Iraqi security troops make huge efforts to help civilians escape the battlefields, but they face the IS snipers. The troops assist dozens of families daily to reach safe places, however, some get killed or injured by bombs, mortar missiles or snipers."

A medical source, who offer urgent treatment for families displaced from the western side, said "treatment is offered daily to more than fifty maimed persons who were maimed during the displacement."
