Daesh terrorists killed 30 Residents  and left their bodies in Mosul streets to halt  others from escaping  the northern Iraqi city, according to Iraqi Army Colonel Ahmed Jabouri.

Daesh  killed more than 30 civilians and left their bodies in the streets of Mosul to stop others from fleeing the northern Iraqi city under offensive by national forces, an Iraqi army colonel said Tuesday.

Some 180,000 residents  fled  western Mosul since Iraqi forces  launched an offensive in February to reclaim the remaining part of the city from ( Daesh) group, outlawed in Russia and many other nations. Daesh groups  are accused of preventing residents from escaping  to use them as human shields.

“Daesh  left the bodies strewn across the streets to frighten  the others,” Army Colonel Ahmed Jabouri told reporters in Mosul, adding all of the victims were men.

A sinkhole filled with possibly hundreds of bodies of arrested  Iraqi police officers and soldiers was discovered on the southern outskirts of Mosul earlier this year. It is believed to be one of the biggest mass graves in the country during the war against Daesh.
