ISIS Executes Pigeon and Bird Breeders in Diyala, Iraq

Raising doves and pigeons is a deadly pursuit in ISIS-controlled Iraq.

The popular hobby is in the sights of extremist Islamist fighters, who this week rounded up 15 boys and young men in the eastern province of Diyala for pursuing a pastime now deemed un-Islamic. Three have already been executed.

Suspicion of bird-breeders stems from the fact they tend to feed their animals at the same time devout Muslims traditionally hold their first of five daily prayers.

This distrust has prompted some clerics to issue fatwas against bird breeders.
