50 tribesmen and women found dead at the hands of ISIS

Islamic State group militants reportedly lined up and shot dead 50 tribesmen and women in Iraq's Anbar province Saturday. It is the group's latest mass killing.

ISIS accused the men and women of the Al Bu Nimr tribe of retaliating against them after benig displaced from their homes when the militants the town of Hit last month.

'These killings are taking place almost on a daily basis now in the areas under the control of the Islamic State group and they will continue unless this terrorist group is stopped,' al-Issawi told news3blog.blogspot.com.

An Anbar official confirmed the death toll to the Associated Press.

Two days prior to the killings, 48 Sunni tribesmen were found dead at the hands of the Islamic State group, according to authorities.

The Islamic State group has overrun a large part of Anbar province in its push to expand its territory, which currently current stands at about one-third of both Iraq and Syria. Officials with the Iraqi government, as well as officials with the U.S.-led coalition targeting the extremists, repeatedly have said that Iraqi tribes are key in the fight against the Islamic State group since they are able to penetrate areas inaccessible to airstrikes and ground forces.

Meanwhile Saturday, the United Nations mission in Baghdad said that at least 1,273 Iraqis were killed in violence in October, a slight increase compared to last month amid the Islamic State group's assault.

The U.N. has said September's death toll was 1,119 Iraqis killed.
