BAGHDAD - Islamic State group extremists lined up and shot dead at least 50
Iraqi men, women and children from the same tribe on Sunday, officials said,
in the latest targeting of the group by militants.

The killings, all committed in public, raise the death toll suffered by the
Sunni Al Bu Nimr tribe in recent days to some 150, suggesting IS fighters
now view them as a threat. Some Sunnis in the volatile province had
previously supported the local expansion of IS and other militants in
December.

Meanwhile, separate attacks around Baghdad killed at least 19 people,
authorities said.

Sunday's attack on the Sunni tribe took place in the village of Ras al-Maa,
north of Ramadi, the provincial capital. There, the militant group killed at
least 40 men, six women and four children, lining them up and shooting them
one by one, senior tribesman Sheikh Naim al-Gaoud told The Associated Press.
The militants also kidnapped another 17 people, he said.
