A witness of the Iraqi army’s efforts to seize back Ramadi described a macabre scene, telling CNN dogs were eating the heads of the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) jihadists killed in the fight, while those who survived are trying to use civilians, including kids, as “human shields.”
She noted that most of the ISIS terrorists had either fled the fight for Ramadi or were executed by the Iraqi security forces, which were backed by the U.S.-led coalition in the air and allegedly by some Iran-backed Shiite militias on the ground.
“We saw them when we left our houses, we saw their dead bodies in the streets,” she told CNN on condition of anonymity after reaching a camp in Habbaniyah with her family on Saturday. “Dogs are eating their heads. We only saw their hands and their legs.”
The conditions in Ramadi are dire, according to the witness.
“We have been without food for two months, no water for the past 10 days,” she told CNN from the camp in Habbaniyah, located a nearly 25-mile drive east of Ramadi. “We were surprised when we left our home and drove outside the city, we only saw destroyed houses and roads. We could not recognize the city. It looked like another city.”
The depravity of the soul-less Islamic State is beyond a rational being’s comprehension.
