Mass killings by Islamic State militants have seen 322 members of an Iraqi Sunni tribe killed in western Anbar province, Iraq’s government says.
The country’s ministry of human rights said more than 50 bodies were found in a water well, whilst 65 members of the Al-Bu Nimr tribe have been kidnapped.
The group’s latest attack came on Sunday morning when militants shot and killed at least 50 of the tribe.
IS militants – also Sunnis – control large areas of Iraq and Syria.
Unfortunately President Obama and Senator McCain placed too much faith in the fighting ability of the Sunni’s.
Nothing has been reported about President Obama’s “Sunni Coalition†lately but I have to wonder if either the United States or IRAQ will benefit from that alliance.

I can understand it if the majority of people in IRAQ, who are Shiites, who have been attacked and persecuted by the Sunni ISIL fighters, are confused about whether the United States is their friend or their enemy. I hope we have not lost them as an ally.
