ISIS gunmen use machine guns to carry out mass executions in sickening new footage
The video shows the terror group killing a number of victims as they sweep through vulnerable cities
Horrifying footage has purportedly been released by ISIS showing mass executions throughout a city in Iraq.
The terror group has been captured on camera killing a number of victims, thought to be living in Kirkuk, a city in the north of Iraq, some 200km from Baghdad.
In the clip, soldiers are seen escorting a group of men in blindfolds and pushing them into the back of the truck.
Moments later, the clip cuts to images of dead bodies lying on the ground. Other images show victims being shot at close range.
At the end of the clip, ISIS militants bury the body of soldier Bilal al-Iraqi.
Mirror.co.uk has chosen to censor the video's content.
The video has been titled: "Men who have been true to their covenant with Allah" and appears to celebrate the ISIS members carrying out the brutal executions.
It is believed that the video was released yesterday, and that it's title takes its inspiration from Quranic verse 33:23 which reads: "Of the believers are men who are true to that which they covenanted to Allah.
"Some of them have paid their vow by death (in battle), and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in the least."
The situation in Iraq is arguably more deadly than ever as fleeing Islamic State fighters are leaving behind deadly bombs packed inside rotting corpses, children’s toys and household appliances
The terror group’s fighters are turning towns into no-go zones by littering them with crude improvised explosive devices (IEDs) as they retreat.
With anti-ISIS forces advancing on positions held by the terror group, ISIS is leaving behind booby traps for advancing forces.
The situation is so grim that one man a day from Iraq’s bomb disposal teams is being killed by the devices.
Abdel Aziz Saleh, a 25-year-old Qayyara resident told Reuters last month that militants had set fire to oil wells as they were forced to retreat from his home town.
"They are suffocating us.
"The birds, the animals are black, the people are black. Gas rains down on us at night. Now the gas has reached the residential areas.
