ISIS has banned women from wearing burkas in its security centres in the northern Iraqi city of Monsul - saying they pose a security risk.

The terror group has previously brutally enforced they were worn - but after a number of its top brass have been killed by veiled women it was decided it was safer to ditch the floor length garment.

In Syria and Iraq women have been beaten and killed by ISIS by its 'morality police' for not wearing the veil which conceals women's eyes, body and head.

A source in Nineveh, Iraq told the  website  about the ban on Friday.

The terror group usually enforces all women have to wear head to toe black and women in the rest of the city of Mosul will have to continue with the veil except in the security centres.

It was last month women were seen celebrating their liberation from ISIS rule in the city of Manbij, and they burned their outfits.

One girl grabbed her burka and pulled it off of her face - which would have been seen as a terrible crime previously.

Another group of youngsters danced around a burka which had been abandoned and burnt.

The militant group would have seen the loss of the strategically positioned city as a blow, and it acted as a conduit for the transit of foreign jihadists, as well as supplies, from the Turkish border.
