"Some of the victims, including women and children, were buried alive in scattered mass graves in and around Sinjar," he said, and added that some 300 women were kidnapped as slaves.
"We have striking evidence obtained from Yazidis fleeing Sinjar and some who escaped death, and also crime scene images that show indisputably that the gangs of the Islamic States have executed at least 500 Yazidis after seizing Sinjar," Sudani said in a telephone interview. "In some of the images we have obtained there are lines of dead Yazidis who have been shot in the head while the Islamic State fighters cheer and wave their weapons over the corpses," said Sudani. "This is a vicious atrocity."
The minister's comments could pile pressure on the United States – which has carried out air strikes on IS targets in response to the group's latest push through the north – to provide more extensive support.
Yazidis are one of many Iraqi minorities persecuted by the Islamic State, which adheres to a fundamentalist branch of Sunni Islam. The terrorists offer people living in territories they control to either convert to their faith or face death.
At least 300 Yazidi families in the villages of Koja, Hatimiya, and Qaboshi, which were surrounded by the Islamists, are being forced into converting, witnesses reported on Saturday.

And let Allah sort it out.
the ones that were killed were actually the lucky ones. the hundreds of kidnapped women probably prayed for death rather than endure what ISIS had in store for them.

“Wouldn’t a MOAB be better?”
Yes it would in large quantities over every rag head haven in the Mid East and beyond.
While were at it throw a few in the Washington DC area after recess.
Kind of like a Saturday bath butt better.
Childs pants appear to be down. Which means the child was probably raped before killed.
His Arrogance, our Sunni Muslim president in the employ of the Saudis, will do token bombings which the MSM administration pimps and pimpettes will tout as a firm response but will amount to only annoying them but will not accomplish nothing significant.
On December 12, 1803, the Souliotes left Souli towards the coast of Epirus. A monk named Samuel remained in Kughi and set fire to the powder magazines with a massive explosion that cost him his life. In the meantime, the Ottoman army attacked the other Souliotes, neglecting the promises Ali Pasha had made to them.

According to tradition they did this by jumping off a steep cliff one after the other while dancing and singing.
