ISIS leader orders failed fighters executed, says report

Some 56 members of ISIS learned their so-called “caliph” doesn’t tolerate losing in battle, according to reports which said Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had them executed after they survived a rout by Kurdish fighters.

Saed Mimousini, media spokesperson for the Kurdish Democratic Party, told Alsumaria news agency that Al-Baghdadi’s harsh decision came following their defeat at the hands of Peshmerga fighters in Kobar, south of the Kurdish capital Erbil.

“ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi executed 56 of his men after their defeat at the hands of the Peshmerga forces in the Cowir area south of Erbilm," he said.

“Executions took place in the Al-Namrood, east Mosul,” he added, claiming that the “battles between ISIS and the Peshmerga south of Erbil killed 300 members of the Islamic State and injured nearly 102 others.”

Mimousini said hospitals in Mosul are packed with injured Islamic State militants, particularly following a “decline in health and medical services in the province.”

Peshmerga also responded on Tuesday to a massive attack from ISIS in Kobar, about 20 miles south of Erbil, killing dozens of militants from the Islamic State, according to Al Aribiya.

Since late summer, the U.S.–led coalition has been bombarding ISIS with air strikes as the Iraqi army and Kurdish fighters battle the radical army on the ground.

This is good. ISIS is basically an all-volunteer army. Word of this gets out and you get less volunteers.

They are all fanatics who gleefully carry out the orders of the leadership.

Recruiters themselves may face a similar fate if they do not drum up large enough numbers to fill their quotas....

Easier and surely safer to volunteer for front-line duty. From there, they can allow themselves to be “captured” and throw themselves on the mercy of the peshmerga.

Frying pan or fire? Interesting choice, as long as I’m not compelled to make it.

We can only hope the group included the dopes from the U.S. and other western countries who thought it was a great idea to go to Syria and join these butchers. Maybe word will get back home to others who might be considering this misadventure.

Ask the imam if you still get your 72 virgins if your Muslim commanding officer shoots you for losing a battle.

Stalin did the same with soldiers during the Battle of Leningrad. You either died fighting Nazis or you died at the hands of your fellow soldiers................

Many Iranians and Afghans are non-Arabs.
