ISIL Terrorists Kidnap 170 Civilians In Northern Iraq

The Takfiri ISIL militants have abducted more than 170 civilians in the northern Iraqi province of Kirkuk after accusing them of burning the terrorist group’s flag.

 According to Iraqi security sources on Saturday, the ISIL terrorists kidnapped 170 civilians from the two villages of al-Shajra and Gharib west of Kirkuk.

“The kidnapped people were taken to the (nearby) town of Hawijah, where ISIL operates a court and a prison,” an Iraqi military official told DPA on the condition of anonymity.

In recent weeks, Iraqi forces have continued their gains against the Takfiri terrorists operating in the Arab country.

The ISIL terrorist group, with members from several Western countries, including Canada, France, Australia and Germany, controls large swathes of land in Iraq.

The group has been carrying out horrific acts of violence such as public decapitations and crucifixions against all communities.

Despite the US establishment of an international coalition to conduct aerial strikes against what is said to be ISIL positions, the raids have proven failed to dislodge them the terrorist group.

Iraqi MPs urge end to Arms Deals with US

On the other hand in Tehran, two senior Iraqi lawmakers called on the parliament and government to terminate security and arms deals with the United States and to find other weapons suppliers after Washington’s failure to fulfill its commitments.

NiaziMaamarOglu said Washington is not serious in the fight against the ISIL Takfiri terrorists and has failed to live up to its security commitments.

The US is leading a military campaign against the ISIL, but critics believe that Washington has failed to effectively weaken the militants.

Another Iraqi lawmaker, A’aliaEnseyyef, said the security agreement between Baghdad and Washington has not been fruitful, urging the government to cancel the deal.

Iraqi officials have long complained that the US has failed to fulfill its promise of supplying advanced fighter aircraft and military hardware to the Iraqi army.
