RNA - "The ISIL executed 17 fugitive members after they escaped the battlefield during clashes near al-Qayyara region in Southern Mosul," an official of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) said on Saturday.

The official said that the ISIL terrorists were killed at Bab al-Toub square in Mosul by a death squad.

Local sources in Kirkuk disclosed last month that the ISIL has executed, at least, 48 citizens in the city of Hawija who were trying to flee the terrorist-held regions.

"At least 48 Iraqi citizens who intended to escape from Hawija city were executed by the ISIL," the Arabic-language media quoted an unnamed local source in Kirkuk province as saying last Saturday.

Earlier Kirkuk Deputy Governor Mohammad Tamim had announced that the ISIL had executed 25 young people who were kept in ISIL's secret prisons.

The ISIL is resorting to different intimidation methods to prevent its own militants from fleeing the battlefield.
