UNAMI reveals new details on Speicher Massacre and ISIS’s policy to exterminate Shias

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) revealed new details on Sunday regarding the “Speicher Massacre” in Salah al-Din Governorate, which occurred during the control of ISIS over the province in 2014.

In a report obtained by Shia Waves Agency, the mission stated that “in the compounds of the presidential palaces, after consulting with ISIS’s top leadership, the ruler of Salah al-Din, affiliated with the terrorist group, ordered that repentance be offered to Sunnis while Shias were to be killed. Members of ISIS were then deployed to four or five execution sites throughout the complex.”

The report further explained, “The captives were gathered in groups and taken to execution sites where they were either lying on the ground or kneeling before being shot at close range. The bodies were buried in mass graves within the palace complex or thrown into the river.”

It continued, “The bodies of the victims who were executed and thrown into the river floated on the surface of the Tigris for days after the incident. The remains of the buried victims that were recovered indicate that 97% of those executed were young males aged 35 or younger, most of whom were wearing civilian clothes.”

The report also highlighted that “the killings continued for at least three days, involving the active participation of about 100 to 150 ISIS members. Among the perpetrators were ISIS fighters who initially entered Tikrit on June 11, escapees from prisons, and local sleeper cells affiliated with the terrorist organization.”

The killings were documented by ISIS, which later released at least two videos showing shocking scenes of abuse and execution. One of the videos, titled “Camp Speicher: The Mass Killing Method and the Intent of Genocide—Kill Them Wherever You Find Them”, clearly illustrates ISIS’s genocidal policy against Shias.”

The mission also noted…

Margaret Roarty | Times Leader

A 17-year-old boy who was hospitalized following a shooting in the Honeypot section of Nanticoke Sunday night has died, according to Nanticoke Police Chief Michael Roke.

The victim suffered a gunshot wound to the left side of his upper chest near his shoulder and was taken to Geisinger Wyoming Hospital, where he later died. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

According to Roke, no arrests have been made and police are still investigating to determine whether or not the shooting occurred with “intent.”

According to a search warrant:

Police were first dispatched to a home along Minden Court around 4:42 p.m. Sunday for a report of a gunshot victim.

Upon arrival, officers said they made contact with an 18-year-old male who was sitting on the steps outside of the house, holding the victim.

The 18-year-old initially told police that he was in the living room wrestling with the victim when they fell into a wooden cabinet, causing a gun to fall off one of the shelves and onto the living room floor.

He stated that the gun then discharged and struck the victim, the affidavit read.

Court records reported that the 18-year-old then admitted to investigators that he was actually fooling around the gun when it discharged.

The affidavit also stated that police seized several items from the scene including any and all firearms, shell casings, bullet fragments, clothing and…

The Land of Bows then Tenements

While spending a few days in New York City last week, I happened to hear an NPR story about the spread of an invasive ant species in Manhattan: dubbed the ManhattAnt. Arriving in 2011, it is now vying with the pavement ant to be the most common ant species. On first look, they don’t seem so bad. They don’t bite, though they do climb, meaning skyscrapers are accessible, but in an aspirational city like Manhattan that deserves respect. And while a minor ant species in its homeland of Europe, the continent they’re from, they has become dominant in Manhattan, with scientists having found that they are “very aggressive” towards other ants, even other ManhattAnt colonies. Moreover, they are spreading beyond Manhattan at the rate of a mile a year (fast in ant terms) with a potential range from Maine to Georgia.

As I heard the story, after visits to the Museum of the City of New York and the Tenement Museum, it was extra poignant, as it sounds eerily similar to another story of an invasive sub-species that had taken over the island in the early 1600s, that of the European colonists, who colonized Lenape land in the early 1600s.

Hoards

The Museum of the City of New York (City Museum) had several excellent data visualization efforts—mapping as a tree ring the different waves of immigration in NYC from its early beginnings, and an excellent digital map that painted a picture of the transition from Lenape land to Dutch colony to megacity. But let’s start with Lenape time, when the population of Manhattan and surrounding areas was about 2,000.

Mannahatta is a Lenape word for “the place where wood is gathered for bows.” Such a beautiful and evocative image. I can imagine this island forested,1 filled with game and cultivated for millennia by the…
