According to the Awine news website, last night, ISIS elements abducted four citizens living in the village of Umm Khunta, near Jalawla, in Khanaqin, and then released two of them.

According to the report the residents of the village clashed with ISIS elements to secure the release of the two abducted citizens, resulting in the death of five civilians, two of whom were Kurds and three Arabs, and three others were wounded.

In recent months, ISIS movements have increased in many parts of Iraq, with many civilians and Iraqi security and military forces falling victim to the attacks.
