Warning: Includes disturbing footage

In the latest video allegedly from Islamic State, orange-clad captives are seen paraded round a town on the back of lorries.

This video shows each of the 17 prisoners kept in separate cages each guarded by AK-47 wielding IS fighters.


The prisoners being taken through the city of Kirkuk in Northern Iraq are believed to be Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.

It is not yet known whether these Kurdish military personnel will face the same grim fate as the Jordanian pilot, Lt. al-Kaseasbeh, who was burnt alive in a similar cage.

Islamic State have just captured the northern Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, one of the few remaining strongholds the Iraqi army still held in the western Anbar province.



While the Pentagon have downplayed this IS victory, al-Baghdadi is only five miles from Ain al-Asad air base which currently houses hundreds of US troops.
