ISIS Said to Have Burned 45 to Death

In western Iraq.

ISIS militants burned 45 people to death in western Iraq, according to the police chief of the town of al-Baghdadi. The brutal attack is reminescent of the way ISIS killed Jordanian pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh. It is unclear why this group of victims was selected, but some of them are believed to have been security personnel, said Col. Qasim al-Obeidi. ISIS secured control of much of the town last week and a compound that houses the family members of security personnel is under siege, according to Obeidi, who “pleaded for help from the government and the international community,” according to the BBC.
