(Washington Post) Loveday Morris and Mustafa Salim - Islamic State gunmen on Wednesday publicly killed 46 members of the Albu Nimr tribe in a city square in the city of Hit, which the Islamic State seized this month. A local resident said, "They gathered them in al-Bakir Square at 11 a.m. today, hands bound, and shot them all." Pictures distributed on pro-Islamic State social media showed bodies lined up on the pavement. The resident added that dozens of tribesmen had already been killed in Islamic State prisons before Wednesday's slayings.
