ISIL kills 18 members over contacts with Kurdish fighters

The Takfiri ISIL militant group has
reportedly executed 13 of its own
members in Iraq’s northern oil-rich
province of Kirkuk who contacted
Kurdis
h Peshmerga forces and planned to surrender.
A Peshmerga source, speaking on
condition of anonymity, said the ISIL
terrorists killed the fellow extremists on the grounds that they had sent short text messages to the Kurdish fighters, and voiced their readiness to lay down arms, Iraq’s al-Sumaria satellite TV network reported. “The militants were Arabs that joined ISIL after the group took control of their
area,” the source said. “So far, more than 10 ISIL militants have surrendered to
Peshmerga forces in the area.”
On February 11, ISIL killed 23 of its own members by firing squad in the city of Tal Afar, located 420 kilometers (260 miles) northwest of the capital, Baghdad.
An unnamed local source said the
executed militants had escaped clashes with Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces in Wana, located around 40 kilometers (24 miles) northwest of the city of Mosul, and Wadi Noran district.
