In an interview Kamel Amin, spokesman for Iraq’s Human Rights Ministry, expressed concern about the use of banned weapons by the ISIL extremists.

    "ISIL has no morals in war or commitment to international conventions; therefore, we could expect anything from the terrorist group. They use anything they have against civilians," Amin added.

ISIL started its campaign of terror in Iraq in early June 2014. The heavily-armed militants took control of the country’s northern city of Mosul before sweeping through parts of the country’s Sunni Arab heartland.

Iraqi soldiers, police units, Kurdish forces, Shia volunteers and Sunni tribesmen have succeeded in driving the ISIL terrorists out of some areas in Iraq.
