NINAWAH, Iraq 

Mosul’s forensic medicine department received Wednesday 105 corpses of people executed by Daesh, an Iraqi member of parliament said.

“Daesh delivered 105 corpses that belong to civilians and army and police officers who did not leave Mosul and were captured by the group,” Mohamed Nouri al-Abdrabbuh, MP from the northern province of Ninawah, said.

The victims were shot, slaughtered or stoned to death, according to al-Abdrabbuh.

The MP also warned that the numbers of victims will increase as long as the military operation to capture Mosul from Daesh is delayed.

Iraq has been gripped by a security vacuum since June 2014 when Daesh militants stormed the northern city of Mosul and declared a self-styled caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.
