Islamic State 'kills 322' from single Sunni tribe- from BBC News
Mass killings by Islamic State militants have seen 322 members of an Iraqi Sunni tribe killed in western Anbar province, Iraq's government says.
The country's ministry of human rights said more than 50 bodies were found in a water well, whilst 65 members of the Al-Bu Nimr tribe have been kidnapped.
The group's latest attack came on Sunday morning when militants shot and killed at least 50 of the tribe.
IS militants - also Sunnis - control large areas of Iraq and Syria.
The ministry said IS is holding the 65 hostages as prisoners of war. The jihadist group also stole livestock from the tribe, it said.
A senior leader of the tribe, Sheikh Naeem Al Gaoud told the BBC: "The government abandoned us and gave us to Isis on a platter.
"We asked them many times for weapons but they gave us only promises."
The BBC's Orla Guerin, in Baghdad, says mass killings of the tribe have become an almost daily occurrence.
Tribal leaders said Sunday's victims, who reportedly included 10 women and children, were lined up and publically shot as punishment for what IS sees at the tribe's resistance.
A number of people from the Al-Bu Nimr tribe were also found dead in mass graves earlier this week. Fifty others were killed on Saturday.

Re: ISIS doing Genocide against Tribes
Why the hell are they begging this Shia Irqi governmnet to help them fight against ISIS. Kurdish tribe is fighting in Kobani, the same Kurdish tribe is defending Irbil from ISIS with out asking assistance from the Shaia government in Iraq. Why cant these sunni arabs do the same? The Iraqi government is a secterian govermnet that is why it is not effictive agaisnt ISIS fight.

Re: ISIS doing Genocide against Tribes

Re: ISIS doing Genocide against Tribes
Kurds are a state with a military apparatus and united people. The Sunni Arabs are mostly with isis, thru don't have a military but trial militias, and they don't have access to more weapons. Baghdad was their only hope and they got abandoned.dayax123 wrote:Why the hell are they begging this Shia Irqi governmnet to help them fight against ISIS.
