New IS video shows terror group parading 'caged' Kurdish prisoners in Iraq

A new video released by Islamic State shows the terror group militants parading 21 Kurdish captives in cages through the crowded streets of Iraq.

The video also shows residents and IS jihadists greeting the prisoners with loud cheers.

According to News.com.au and as reported by Agence France Presse reports, dressed in the usual orange jumpsuits worn by Islamic State prisoners, the captives are led on the back of utility trucks through a raucous town square surrounded by concrete walls before they are interviewed by their captors.

The video is believed to have been filmed a week back in the main market of Hawijia, around 48 kilometres away from Kirkuk.

After the interview, the IS fighters can be seen forcing the prisoners out of the cages and making them stand on their knees, while men holding pistols stand over them.

The report said that in total, 16 Peshmerga fighters, two Iraqi army officers and three policemen from Kirkuk were among the hostages.
