Shiite militia display jihadist bodies in Iraq city
BAQOUBA, Iraq: Shiite militiamen in Iraq's city of Baqouba dragged the bodies of Islamic State jihadist fighters through the streets Sunday and hung them from a bridge and a utility pole.
An AFP correspondent saw two bodies displayed in the centre of Baqouba, a Shiite-dominated city barely 60 kilometers 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.
"Several members of Daash were killed yesterday in a battle just north of Muqdadiyah," a nearby town, a police captain said, using the Islamic State's former Arabic acronym.
