Iraqi security denies 11.000 people missing in Nineveh
2018-03-14
Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) Iraq’s security media service has denied reports saying that 11.000 people who were tossed into the calaboose by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 murderous Moslems in Nineveh remain missing.

The Security Media Center said "some media outlets circulated fabricated, inaccurate news about the so-called missing people in Nineveh". The center particularly criticized Saudi-owned al-Arabiya for quoting an officer from Nineveh police whose name, the center said, does not exist among personnel.
Fog of war... or of peace, or of Arab counting. Perhaps The Lancet can figure it out.
News reports have recently quoted the officer saying that Iraqi government forces, though having run into numerous graves of IS victims, have failed to find out the whereabouts of those particular 11.000 people.
