BAGHDAD - An Iraqi official and a Sunni tribal leader say Islamic State of Iraq and Syria militants have shot dead 36 Sunni tribesmen, women and children, pushing the total number of people killed by the group's apparent drive to punish the tribe in recent days to more than 200.

Sheik Naim al-Gaoud, a senior figure in the Al Bu Nimr tribe, says the militant group on Monday killed 29 men, four women and three children, lining them up in in the village of Ras al-Maa, north of Ramadi. He says they publicly shot each of them dead one by one. He says that 120 families are still trapped there.

An official with the Anbar governor's office corroborated the account of Monday's killings. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to brief journalists.

Earlier this week, Human Rights Watch reported that ISIS executed 600 Iraqi prison inmates when they seized the country's second-largest city of Mosul in June.

SOHR documented the death of 5772 people, who were killed in October 2014, and they are as following :

1064 civilians, including 251 children under the age of 18 and 112 women.

1552 Syrian fighters from rebels and Islamic battalions and YPG.

3 dissident soldiers.

1342 Non-Syrian fighters from the IS, Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Mohajrin wa al-Ansar army, and Jund al-Aqsa.

876 soldiers from regime forces.

770 NDF, peoples committees and regime spies.

28 Hezbollah.

128 Non-Syrian fighters allied to regime forces, including Shiaa fighters.

9 unknown people.

We, in SOHR, believed that the real number of casualties on the fighting parties is more than 1500, because there is absolute secrecy on casualties and due to the difficulty of access to many areas and villages that have witnessed violent clashes and bombardment by all sides.

6. Barbarians, need to be eliminated.

This is what's going to turn the Sunni tribes against ISIS, it's already happening in some parts of Iraq,
some Sunni tribes are joining Shia to fight ISIS.

7. Remember about 15 months ago the US told Assad to step down?

This is what would have happened to every Alawite in Syria if they did.

US really needs a big glass of shut up juice sometimes.
