Iraqi soldier plays dead to survive execution by ISIS militants and escapes wearing civilian clothes

A young 23-year-old Iraqi soldier played dead to escape mass execution by ISIS militants in Tikrit. The militants rounded up nearly 770 soldiers from various locations in Tikrit and carried out the executions in the month of June nzherald.co.nz.
This soldier pretended to be dead and escaped. Later, he donned civilian clothes and managed to reach the border where he was picked up on 12 June with thousands of other men at 11am as they tried to flee along the main road from a military base.
He had been asked to wear civilian clothes to try to avoid detection by ISIS fighters. This has been claimed by the Human Rights Watch.
The soldier has identified one of three newly discovered sites.
As per his statements, he was one of the prisoners who was held in a shipping container in a palace compound in the city before being taken out in a group of 10 at about 5pm – it was there that the men were lined up to be shot with pistols one by one.
In June, the ISIS militants claimed to have executed 1,700 prisoners it said were Shia members of the army. Many of the bodies were dumped in the Tigris River.
