Iraqi forces were apparently given order 66 in the final days of the battle for the Mosul old city, kill everyone.
Against who? Sunni militia fighting alongside them or everyone in the Old City?Iraqi forces were apparently given order 66 in the final days of the battle for the Mosul old city, kill everyone.
Yes. They were told that everyone left in the last few areas of the old city were either ISIS fighters or ISIS fighters families so the order was handed down to spare no one.Even the Younglings?

Vae victis.Yes. They were told that everyone left in the last few areas of the old city were either ISIS fighters or ISIS fighters families so the order was handed down to spare no one.
Still a bad thing to do imo. I hope its not true. There are regular videos of Iraqi soldiers beating and/or killing 'ISIS supporters', but we don't know the truth about those they are abusing. I find it disturbing that its openly filmed and uploaded by soldiers. I might be wrong, but I hear that one of the main reasons ISIS recieved so much support from the population is that the post-Saddam Iraqi army massacared people. So extrajudicial killings and beatings is totally going to stem any future problems of this natureVae victis.
They chose this path themselves.
Other then children being caught up in this i have no sympathy for the "poor innocent" ISIS supporters.
