ISIS KILLING FIELDS

Harrowing first images emerge of Mosul mass grave where ISIS slaughtered 300 Iraqi cops

Reports of trucks full of prisoners leaving empty from mass murder spot

THESE shocking images lay bare the true savagery of ISIS tyranny in its so called "Iraqi Caliphate".

Photographs show corpses - with bound legs and clear signs of execution - dumped at a site near Hammam al-Alil is on the Tigris River about 19 miles south of Mosul.

 The mass grave area has become a crime scene, but will those guilty be brought to justice?

The area was liberated by Iraqi Federal Police about 10 days ago and clear evidence of genocide has been coming to light ever since.

War crime investigators have heard reports, from people living near the spot of a mass grave, of hundreds of prisoners being taken to the site but not leaving.

Screaming was also heard in the small hamlet near Mosul, where 300 bodies were discovered.

They are believed to be ex-Iraqi government policemen who were jailed following the fall of Mosul to ISIS in June 2014.

The new discovery follows the uncovering of 100 decapitated bodies in another mass grave near the town just over a week ago.

But it has been claimed that ISIS are also turning on their own.

The cash-strapped extremists are allegedly harvesting organs from living troops who are injured in hospital.  

Meanwhile Iraqi Shi'ite militias were massing troops today to cut remaining supply routes to Mosul which is Islamic State's last major stronghold in Iraq.

They have been closing in on the road that links the Syrian and Iraqi parts of its self-declared caliphate.

Five weeks into the U.S.-backed offensive on Mosul, Islamic State is fighting in the area of Tal Afar, 40 miles to the west, against a coalition of Iranian-backed groups known as Popular Mobilisation forces
