Militants from the Islamic State lined up 30 Sunni men in a town west of Baghdad and shot them dead this morning, an Iraqi official and residents said.
The slayings took place on a main street in al-Bakir district in the town of Hit, which has been the scene of intense fighting by jihadis and local resistance groups in recent weeks.
It is understood the murdered men were mainly local tribal leaders who had allied with the Iraqi government and were helping to organise anti-ISIS operations in the embattled town.
