Members of Daesh have abducted hundreds of people in Iraq’s conflict-stricken northern province of Kirkuk.
A local source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Arabic-language al-Sumaria satellite television network that the militants kidnapped 200 individuals in the al-Zaab district of the province on Wednesday.
The source said that the civilians were taken hostage on the alleged ground that they were in collaboration with Iraqi security forces, adding that the fate and whereabouts of the abductees are unknown.
