These images from the Daily Mail are from a new video uploaded by the extremist group Daesh. The first set of pictures a group of prisoners being executed by being locked in a car, which Daesh members then detonated with a grenade launcher. The second set of images is execution of a group of 5 prisoners who were lowered into a luxury swimming pool, and kept underwater until they drowned.

Below are images of Daesh placing explosive necklaces around their necks, which are then subsequently detonated.

The prisoners are accused of spying, and conspiring against Daesh. It is truly sickening to watch. The victims were forced to confess to the crimes, and then were promptly executed.

You can watch the video HERE. Warning: it is graphic.

According to multiple sources, this attack took place on January 25th of this year. A Yazidi militia attacked two Sunni villages in northern Iraq, killing 21 civilians and abducting 40 more. The militia was said to have attacked without prejudice, and it is reported that the dead included the disabled, old, women, and children. The Yazidis themselves have suffered greatly at the hands of Daesh (ISIS) according to Al Jazeera. The Yazidis are a Kurdish religious community from northern Iraq.
This attack will only serve to increase already heightened tensions in the area.
