Islamic State fighters have abducted 100 Sunni Muslim tribesmen near the city of Tikrit, local tribal leaders said on Wednesday, apparently to neutralize suspected opponents before a widely expected army offensive.
Iraqi soldiers and pro-government Shi'ite militias have been massing for days in preparation for an attack on Islamic State strongholds along the Tigris River to the north and south of Tikrit, hometown of executed former president Saddam Hussein.
Tikrit, about 150 km (95 miles) north of Baghdad, has been controlled by the Sunni Muslim radicals since they swept through northern Iraq in June, scattering Iraq's security forces.

I’m having trouble even believing most of these “captured “ stories. Remember when our guys were searching house-by-house all over Iraq? They were looking for weapons caches, etc. But they never totally disarmed the local folks. They would always allow the head of the house to keep one pistol and one rifle, if he had them. These folks are armed. How the bleep is it that they can be captured in large clusterflock bunches? Maybe the guy who showed up to capture them was just a long lost kuzzin who was padding his resume and needed a crowd to help? I dunno but I just don’t believe it.
