Militia displays dead Islamic State jihadist fighters

Baquba (Iraq):  Shia militiamen in Iraq’s city of Baquba dragged the bodies of Islamic State jihadist fighters through the streets and hung them from a bridge and a utility pole. Two bodies were displayed in the centre of Baquba, a Shia-dominated city barely 60 km northeast of Baghdad, but security officials counted at least four. The city is under the control of the Iraqi army and allied Shiite militiamen but is surrounded by many Sunni villages, which have been captured and recaptured several times in recent weeks. The victims were believed killed in battles on Saturday.
