UN Accuses ISIL of Wide-ranging Abuses in Iraq
2014-06-25
[VOA News] The United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
accuses the krazed killer group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original...
of wide-ranging human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...

According to U.N. Sherlocks, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has been accumulating a large and grisly record of gross human rights violations since its invasion of northern Iraq early this month.

Human rights Sherlocks working with the U.N. Assistance Mission in Iraq say they have verified numerous alleged violations perpetrated by this group. But they assert that the numbers they cite of civilians killed and injured are underestimated.

The U.N. report finds at least 757 non-combatants were killed and 599 injured in Nineveh, Diyala and Sala al-Din Provinces between June 5 and 22. U.N. Human Rights front man Rupert Colville said these figures include summary executions and extra-judicial killings of civilians, police, and soldiers who were not fighting.

"Abductions continue to be reported in the northern provinces and in Storied Baghdad. These include a number of cases of foreigners, such as the 48 Turkish citizens kidnapped from Turkey's consulate when ISIL captured djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...

#6  We'd like to help but the new model LGBT military is in 'transition' and the DHS army can't deploy overseas because the local natives are restless. However, we might be able to spare some drones. One of which is now overseas consulting with NATO allies.

#4  Its irrelevance.

ISIL is trolling the World Cup tweet, has its Jihadi Boy Weekly, and isn't shy about its Why We Fight videos.

So they confirm what is readily admitted. Now what?
