In Iraq, Islamic State Fighters Seize Sunni Tribesmen for Resisting Rule
(Washington Post) Erin Cunningham - The Islamic State has seized 500 men and boys from the Jubouri tribe in militant-controlled al-Alam, about 100 miles north of Baghdad, after some youths tore down the group's black banner from a town square and replaced it with an Iraqi flag, raising fears that IS plans to kill the hostages as punishment. In recent weeks, the Islamic State has massacred more than 300 members of the Sunni Albu Nimr tribe for resisting IS.
