By Julian Robinson for MailOnline. ISIS has executed women in Mosul for refusing to become sex slaves under the group's 'sexual jihad'. The victims had all been ordered to accept 'temporary marriages' to fighters in the terror group's northern Iraq stronghold.
But when they refused the so-called sexual jihad, they were butchered - sometimes along with their families, according to an official from the Kurdistan Democratic Party. Said Mamuzini told the AhlulBayt news agency that 'at least ' have so far been executed by ISIS in the city 'for refusing to accept the practice of sexual jihad, and sometimes the families of the girls were also executed for rejecting to submit to IS's request.
Mosul has been under the extremists' control since News of the executions comes as Turkey revealed it had killed 32 suspected ISIS fighters close to the city near the Bashiqa military camp. Yazidi women and their families are pictured fleeing the northern Iraqi town of Sinjar in In December, Turkey said it had sent hundreds of troops to Bashiqa to protect Turkish military personnel involved in training Iraqi fighters, sparking a diplomatic row with Baghdad.
At the time, a senior Turkish official said up to soldiers and 20 tanks were deployed there, although an unspecified number were pulled back following US pressure to end the row with Baghdad.
Baghdad flatly denied the claim. Turkey says its troops are training Iraqi forces to fight ISIS extremists but Baghdad has accused Ankara of using training as a pretext to increase its influence in northern Iraq. In October it was revealed that more than Yazidi women and young girls were abducted by ISIS fighters when they stormed the Sinjar region - also in northern Iraq - in August and slaughtered more than 5, of their men.
