A fruit of neocon adventures: ISIS militants using Yazidi women as sex and domestic slaves.

Women and children have been buried alive in mass graves by the fanatics terrorising Iraq, it was claimed last night. Up to 500 members of the ancient Yazidi sect have suffered the appalling fate, according to an Iraqi minister. Fighters from the Islamic State group are also accused of kidnapping 300 women to use for sex or as domestic slaves. Some 150,000 Yazidis fled their homes after the militants overran their main town of Sinjar in northern Iraq last week. The fresh claims of horrific atrocities will add to pressure on the West to take further action to halt Islamic State’s relentless expansion through Iraq.
