Daesh burns 4 Iraqi Shiite fighters alive

(MENAFN- Arab News) BAGHDAD: Daesh strung up four Iraqi Shiite fighters with chains and burned them alive according to footage posted online the latest gruesome execution video from the terrorists.

The victims identified as fighters in the pro-government Popular Mobilization forces from southern Iraq were suspended from a swingset by chains attached to their hands and feet then set on fire.
Daesh said the murders were in revenge for the alleged burning of four men by pro-government forces.
'Now retribution has come for today we will attack them as they attacked us and punish them as they punished us' a masked militant says in the video which was not dated and did not say where the burnings took place.
The video included a clip said to show a Sunni man suspended over a fire while still alive as pro-government forces look on and another of famous Shiite fighter Abu Azrael ('Father of the Angel of Death') slicing a piece of flesh off a burned corpse with a sword.
Meanwhile the mayor of a remote Daesh-held town in western Iraq said on Monday that some 200 residents have been detained by the group at an unknown location following clashes there.
Trouble in Rutbah in Anbar province near the Jordanian border started Saturday when Daesh militants killed a local resident for killing a member of the group as part of a long-running clan blood feud. Hundreds of residents demonstrated later that day to protest the killing and clashes broke out when the militants attempted to disperse the protesters.
A provincial Anbar official said Saturday some 70 residents were detained by the militants and more than 100 more were tied to streetlight poles for about 24 hours as a punishment.
Rutbah's mayor Imad Al-Rishawy said that around 200 residents are still held by the group at an unknown location and that the town is gripped by fears that they might be killed.
