| [Al Jazeera] A US-trained Iraqi army division allegedly executed dozens of men in the final phase of the battle against ISIS fighters in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... 's Old City, Human Rights Watch has claimed. The rights group on Thursday urged the US government to suspend all support for the 16th Division of the Iraqi army pending an investigation into what it called war crimes, evidence of which was seen by two international observers whom the group did not name. The claims could not be independently verified as Iraqi authorities have restricted media access to the Old City since July 10, following Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's victory declaration over 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS, also known as ISIS). Spokesmen for the Iraqi government and military could not be reached for comment. ISIS made its last stand in the Old City after nine months of urban warfare with Iraqi forces, who are backed by a US-led coalition. |
