Bodies of 6 displaced Sunnis, shot in heads, dumped in Baghdad
2015-04-29
[ARABNEWS] The bodies of six displaced Sunni men were found dumped in the Iraqi capital Baghdad early on Tuesday with bullet wounds to the head, police sources and the head of the tribe to which they belonged said.

The identity of the assailants was unknown, but the victims were all members of the same family who had fled violence in the western province of Anbar and sought refuge in Baghdad's western Jihad district.

"Yesterday at midnight a group of men dressed in black with their faces hidden by balaclavas and masks knocked on the door and threatened the family to leave immediately," Sheikh Naim Al-Gaud, the head of the Albu Nimr tribe, told Rooters.

"At five in the morning they came and executed them in cold blood, and even took what money and gold jewelry they had."

Two men survived because the gunnies left them for dead, and have been hospitalized in a critical condition, an aide to the tribal leader said.

Hundreds of members of the Albu Nimr tribe were killed by Islamic State

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....

Police also found two bodies dumped by the side of a road in the Amil district of Baghdad on Tuesday but their identity was unclear.

#5  Fled to Baghdad ruled by Shia.

Sure, but it isn't the Shia of Bqghdad who are providing the daily explosions there, it's ISIS and Friends of ISIS. No reason the ISIS of Anbar couldn't phone up their friends in Baghdad to take care of loose tribal ends, and every reason to punish those who escaped/fled the punishment meted out to the rest of the tribe for resistance.

They just fled Anbar, which means ISIS, it seems to me.
