A chilling video has come to the fore that shows Islamic State (IS) militants talking about buying and selling female Yazidi slaves in the market wherein a fighter is heard claiming that "the price differs if she has blue eyes", say reports.
However, the footage posted online by AlAanTV that claims to show IS fighters talking about girl slaves, cannot be verified.
According to News.com.au, the video appears to be shot on a mobile phone that shows dozens of men packed in a small room talking excitedly about slave girls.
One IS extremists is heard saying that "today is the distribution day, god willing each one takes his share".
In another instance, one militant is heard saying that he would sell her for a pistol while one says that he would sell her for "a glock".
Those from the Yazidi faith have been particularly targeted with tens of thousands forced from their homes and driven to Mount Sinjar in Iraq before international efforts to rescue them.
