Takfiri ISIL terrorists have reportedly executed dozens of civilians in Iraq’s oil-rich northern province of Kirkuk as the victims sought to escape from the extremists.
Hassan Mahmoud al-Soufi, a commander of pro-government Popular Mobilization units, told Arabic-language al-Sumaria television network on Saturday that Daesh militants executed 61 people, among them a woman, by firing squad at a militant base on the outskirts of the militant-held town of Hawijah, located about 282 kilometers (175 miles) north of the capital, Baghdad.

- Soufi noted that the deceased were among the 3,000 civilian whom ISIL Takfiris had ambushed and captured a few day ago as the former tried to flee from Hawijah. It is estimated that hundreds of women, children and elderly people are among those being held captive.
- There are reports that ISIL extremists plan to use the hostages as human shields to stop the advance of government forces gearing up for the liberation of Hawijah.
