ISIS in Mosul have killed 58 members who allegedly were planning a rebellion in Mosul ahead of the Iraqi forces offensive to retake the city, according to security sources who spoke to Reuters.

The alleged plotters were drowned with ISIS refusing the return of the bodies to their families.

“Some of the executed relatives sent old women to ask about the bodies. Daesh [IS] rebuked them and told them no bodies, no graves, those traitors are apostates and it is forbidden to bury them in Muslim cemeteries,” one resident whose relative was among the dead told Reuters.

Muhsin Abdul Kareem Oghlu, who is known to be an IS die-hard, has reportedly been appointed to replace the executed commander according to RT.
