Sydney Morning Herald: In Mosul, Iraq 'collectively punishing' IS families, 'beating, killing' fighters
Erbil: A number of Iraqi military personnel have been suspended and an investigation launched after Human Rights Watch has condemned videos circulating on social media purportedly showing Iraqi forces killing and beating suspected Islamic State fighters in Mosul.
The videos were posted to Facebook earlier this week, a day after Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi declared "total victory" in Mosul, according to The Associated Press. On Thursday, a spokesman for Iraq's Defence Ministry said he had not seen the videos but that such incidents will not be tolerated.

I have no problems with them killing ISIS fighters like this, none. Especially after what ISIS fighters have done to Iraqi's, Syrians and the Jordanian Pilot. What goes around comes around, and they do not deserve to live, IMO.
Stephen. ..I hear you... I'd spare the young though- they are often just brainwashed from young age....they need rehabilitation (guarded of course, they are still dangerous for a long time) ...but realistically this is Iraq's business. ..they know who they are dealing with better than I do... I just pray no innocent man or woman gets caught up in these lynch killings
Stephen l second you
, if you look at the footage of iraqi soldiers being lined up and shot in the head and dumped in the river after the fall of mosul there isnt a military in the world that wouldnt be paying it back when the cameras are off.

For once I Agree compleatly with you.
LMFAO
I remember the Jordanian pilot burned to death in the cage by these people. ISIS will certainly get theirs.
The nauseating part is Americans who due to extreme stupidity helped create this problem in the problem in the first place and only made a token contribution to the fight against ISIS in Iraq now think they should lecture Iraqis in how they should be handling this.
Reports are that if you're a fighting age male and DON'T have a Mosul/northern accent, you're as good as dead if they catch you.
