The extremist Islamic State militants on Friday shot dead six family members in an attack on their house in Salahudin province north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, a provincial police source said.
The attack took place in the early hours of the day when IS militants broke into a house in Jillam area near the city of Samarra, some 120 kilometres north of Baghdad, and opened fire at the family members, killing a man, three of his sons, a woman and a child, Mohammed al-Bazi told Xinhua.
The attackers also burnt the house, two cars, and the family’s wheat farm as well as livestock before they fled the scene, al-Bazi said.
Iraqi security forces rushed to the scene and launched a search campaign, looking for the attackers, he added.
