| [ABCNEWS.GO] Militants affiliated with the bad boy Islamic State group kidnapped dozens of men from a Sunni village north of Baghdad on Thursday, residents said, as two separate boom-mobileings killed 23 people in the capital. The gunnies took some 50 men from Tal Ali village, around 240 kilometers (170 miles) north of Baghdad, according to residents. The men were loaded onto trucks and driven away, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... out of fear of retribution. The gunnies had retreated from the village the day before, fearing an attack by the Iraqi army. When they left, residents set fire to an Islamic State flag.
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... . The group has published grisly photos of the mass killing of captives in areas under its control in Iraq and neighboring Syria. In Baghdad, police officials said a jacket wallah rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into a police checkpoint in the Shiite neighborhood of Kazimiyah, killing 14 people, including five coppers. About 26 people were maimed and several cars were burnt in the attack. Two hours later, a boom-mobile kaboom in central Baghdad killed nine people and maimed 21 others, said police. Medical officials confirmed the casualties from both attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. | |
