"The security forces have captured many ISIL militants who had worn women's dresses and planned to escape from Fallujah," the Arabic-language media outlets quoted unnamed security sources as saying.

The security sources noted that many ISIS terrorists had hidden among the refugee families.

In a relevant development in June 2014, the ISIL militants were wearing women's dress and hid in civilians' cars to escape from Salahuddin province in disguise after sustaining a heavy defeat in the war with Iraq's army and volunteer forces.

"Many of the ISIL militants are fleeing Salahuddin province in family cars and in women dresses," Head of Salahuddin Governorate Council Ahmad Al-Karim told FNA.

He said that the ISIS militants are escaping to Al-Jazeera Hamrin Mountains, and added, "The ISIS is a terrorist group supported by some regional countries and it is just trying to create a chaotic atmosphere in the region."

Meantime, a security source in Salahuddin province announced that the Iraqi army has struck heavy blows on the ISIL.
